走了一天的路,我們說:“多一步都走不動了,咱們找個出租去吃飯吧。”先生說,“再堅持一會兒。。。爸爸帶你們來了這麽遠的歐洲,還不信任我嗎?”眼見著前麵街上的比薩餅店上門板,關門大吉了,我們開始罷工。。。前麵路口有一輛出租車,司機不會說英文,先生急中生智,蹦出幾句他大學時隻學了一個學期的意大利語Voglio mangia... un ristorante Italiano...再加上他姥姥一直想教他,可他也沒好好學的方言。。。還真行,司機左拐右拐就把我們送到了台伯河畔的一個靜謐的小區,果然是很有特色的意大利餐廳。
統一意大利的第一位國王維克多紀念堂,The Victor Emmanuel II monument
勝利女神駕馭著雙輪馬車
有位無名戰士也安息在國王紀念堂,
這些雕像令人聯想到米開朗基羅的大衛像~英勇,健美
天使吹響號角,威武的國王騎在戰馬上
國王紀念堂建於1911-35年,全部由純白大理石建造,蔚為壯觀
國王紀念堂側景,下層是意大利統一博物館
奧巴馬總統也進了羅馬街頭蠟像館,棕色衣服的像是聖方濟 St. Francis of Assisi,舊金山San Francisco就以他命名。
原來餐廳還為我們準備了小喜劇!再一看,那扮演美女的演員是我們後麵桌上用餐的客人,而丈夫和癡情男就是來自上麵照片裏那四位演奏家扮演的啊。
老先生為大寶雪兒唱一曲意大利民謠
這位餐廳服務的老先生用帶著意大利口音的英文慢慢悠悠地說:
“ Do you want to order your next course?
you can order it now... or you can order it later...
it doesn't matter... later...how about later?"
後麵的幾個星期裏,我們遇到什麽事情就學著他不緊不慢的口氣說:“可以現在決定。。。也可以以後決定。。。無所謂啦。。。以後再說吧!”有這樣的生活態度,任何難題都迎刃而解。
回複笑薇.的評論:
笑薇好,歡迎來園子。我們也是從荷蘭開車到法國的卡萊Calais,坐可以把車開上船的 P & O 公司油輪,到英國的多佛Dover, 這是最短的距離,行程一小時,真正開船時間隻要半小時。票要提前預訂,這個公司很人性化,我們提前到了停車場2小時,他們就讓我們坐上比預定早兩個航班的船。車放下層,人到上層坐,有餐廳,家庭活動廳,電視和無線上網。船公司網站是 www.poferries.com, 我在前麵一篇英國遊記≪白金漢宮,大英博物館≫裏也提到http://blog.wenxuecity.com/myblog/54830/201109/2273.html
另外你如果很大膽也可以開車通過英吉利海峽海底隧道,我先生不願意那樣開,坐這個船很省心。祝你好運。(^O^☆♪

Dear Meg and September, I think we are attracted to people who share the same value, kindness attracts, holiness attracts, beauty attracts, love attracts...
Enjoy your week and happy Easter. (^O^☆♪

謝謝分享,俺過去10年去了8次意大利(兩次冬天),特喜歡羅馬人吃意大利餐的吃法(double main courses),我總會在運動後去吃,梵蒂岡附近是我常去的地方(因友人的家在附近),嗬嗬。
Morning,Meg & 燕兒! Meg,interesting point!~~~ I found Ronald Regan very attractive, was he "含蓄"&"低調"?~~~
Both 燕兒 and Meg,the reason I brought up this off the topic question,is to do some "soul searching" on myself, Haha-Haha...just joking,I don't have time on that...Meg is 100% right --- "The best thing for us would be: we can be so free and happy to choose whatever we like to be"~~~
回複京燕花園的評論:
Thank you for the link. I love the movie very much. It's exactly like the title. Very sunshine! Italian men are very charming. As a tourist at the time, I did enjoy their greeting Ciao Bella very much, which let me feel so close to them, so warm! Love Italians!
九月, I would tell you, by nature, in life, I love to be with open and expressive people. However, it’s a kind of our culture to be "含蓄"&"低調". The best thing for us would be: we can be so free and happy to choose whatever we like to be and do not come across too many rigid, conservative and intolerant people. This is important.
As for attraction, I would tend to think actually the most seductive men in history (even in the West) were "含蓄"&"低調”. I would tell you why if you have a post for this topic. Hahahahaha...
回複megchen的評論:
Dear Meg, sounds like you had some romantic encounter in Italian. Bella, Bella, it never hurts to compliment someone.
In the movie ≪Under the Tuscan Sun≫, Francis met a hansome Italian guy, in real life it never happened. But the author said, "I would like to shock my relatives back home and make them think I did have romance with a hot Italian guy!"
Here is a link to the movie, enjoy your weekend(^O^☆♪

燕兒,那個夏天我們真的是擦肩而過了的~~開心你又帶我回去了一遍~~
好喜歡Meg的這句話:Somehow, being romantic needs to be open and expressive. Meg,what do you think about Chinese "含蓄"&"低調"?嘿嘿 :-) :-)
"羅馬的魅力不僅在於她的古老,還是浪漫的代名詞。你看romance, romantic...在德國就有Romantische Strasse, 譯作浪漫之路,其實是羅馬古道,景色也的確美麗。" hehehehe, thanks for sharing! It is so true.
The first time I went to Italy, I was single then (lacked of a kind of protection) and overwhelmed by romantic Italian men continuous “bella, bella....”, but soon I was used to it and really enjoyed the feeling of being adored. Italian men are very expressive and have rich body languages. Somehow, being romantic needs to be open and expressive.
