“Hello!! if u want cs nudist experiences i can cs you in ostia lido..the beach of rome..30 min of center of rome..let me know..see ya :D”
Oh, you have to see his picture! I tried to send the link with no luck. He is in his early 30's and owns his own business. I told him I'd love to meet him, but NOT at the nudist beach!
Today I met Gianni,who is, you will happy to know, 62. (The site is very clear that its objective is to connect travellers!!!) I met him at 11 at the right hand side of the Porta Portese entrance
to the biggest(probably the only one) Sunday flea market in the city. He arrived a few minutes after I did, and we walked around the tables, which were, like most of flea markets, pretty filled with junk. AND IT WAS HOT!!! I can't even imagine how many tables there were-1000?Then we walked over to Campo di Fiore for lunch. It was much quieter today than when I was there with Mallory and Dayle. At least half of the restaurants were closed. We had a relaxed lunch of pizza and beer (good thing I had a salad here for dinner tonight!) He worked for Alitalia for thirty years and is very fluent in English,
French, and Spanish. He grew up in Verona and LOVES Rome, which has been his home since his divorce. He is very knowledgeable about the city and the history. The original plan was coffee and a walk, but I needed to go to check on a ticket to see the Bourghese Gallery again, so he offered to go with me.
I couldn't get the ticket today after all, so we had had quite a walk for almost nothing.
He had quite a conversation with the woman selling tickets,when she said she didn't know if the Rome Pass was good for the Gallery.When we walked out, he said, "She should get another job!"
The picture of the statue is of Lord Byron, a famous English poet, who also spent alot of time here.
Tomorrow I'm planning to be at the Colosseum when it opens!
