There are a lot of businesses right there, including Dolce and Gabbana - I saw Dolce out in the street on his cellphone in a full length fur coat!

And the Italian way of giving directions is hilarious: "Down the street and to the right" (in bad English or body language). It was always to the right. My boyfriend and I figured that maybe there isn't anything to the left in Italy?? <BR/>Have a great weekend! <BR/>Trudibeauty commahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06969077232747267691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930235248679264616.post-68981096935587430872008-10-17T22:23:00.000-04:002008-10-17T22:23:00.000-04:00Megan, Thanks for the info!

I did very much enjoy my stay there and totally agree with you about the magic of the place. It's amazing and there's nowhere like it. What it lacks in order, it makes up for in charm!

I think I could go there 100 times and never run out of great places to eat or interesting things to see. We went to Italy last month and did not make it to Rome, but I wish we had.Eloisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974737894674278154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930235248679264616.post-57918471885993602422008-10-17T12:08:00.000-04:002008-10-17T12:08:00.000-04:00Anne, I was here last march on my honeymoon, the s...Anne, I was here last march on my honeymoon, the street 'babuino' means baboon, and it was named after that funny looking statue. <BR/><BR/>we stayed, same side of the street, but down, almost to the end by the popola (sp?) in a beautiful, hotel that jennifer (peak of chic) told me about. such a perfect neighborhood to be in.... when in rome.<BR/><BR/>thank god for flat irons, eh?

It seems like the worst of times are really the best. It makes me want to get on a plane today, but I need to find a Four Season or Ritz, I do not think I would last with the vomit smelling sofa bed. xoxo MBMaryBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547321109503148189noreply@blogger.com
