When in Rome

Yesterday we went on a tour of St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museum, and the Sistine Chapel. It was wonderful.

Last night at a cafe, I ordered an espresso. The waiter asked, "Espresso especial?" I said sure. He then asked if I had a strong heart. I pointed to the bottle of red wine on the table and vigorously nodded my assent. A few minutes later, he returned with two espresso cups. As he handed me the first cup, he let go before I had it and it fell into my lap, revealing itself to be empty. The waiters and my family all had a great laugh at my expense. They'll all pay...

Today we're visiting the Colloseum. Tonight we head for Vienna.
