Sweet Rome, Italia: Parte Quinta

Last year Traveler Nell and I visited Europe starting in Rome. Before we had even left Lazio we had agreed that we had to return someday to the Eternal City. And so we are…only ten months later. Leading up to our return trip I am posting some of the things I love about Rome.

Numero Cinque: Euro in contanti (Euro cash)

We are nearing the days of a cashless society but we aren’t there yet. You always need to have a couple bills here and there for a cab, espresso or whatever. So before we head to the airport we make sure to have some local currency. In this case Euros.

When I bought these the exchange rate (and charges) were such that I got €355 for $500.  We will get an additional €50 or so in €1 and €2 coins for offerings when we visit all the churches we love to explore.
