Uptown Girl:
I have to agree with you on Florence. When visitors ask us how we like Rome we generally respond, "We love Italy", Rome not as much.
There is loads of history and great things to do in Rome however when compared to Umbria, Tuscany, The Lake Areas, Florence etc; etc; it can pale in comparison. Living in Rome is a challenge with the ever increasing graffitti problems throughout the city and the ever challenging transit strikes which not surprisingly normally occur on a Friday or Monday.
That said, work brought us here and we are pleased to have been afforded this opportunity and we take full advantage of travel throughout Italy and the surrounding countries however when we finish the 3.5 year assignment, we will be ready to be Frogs in TV.
