A Story to Nightcap

Today was one of the first days it steadily rained throughout the day here. Allow me to share one quick thing to all those who have yet to venture into Rome in the rain.

Walking on wet cobblestone is similar to walking on ice. It takes steadiness and a patience to make sure footing is secure. Walking too fast, as I discovered this afternoon, leads to a foot sliding out from underneath and busting ones ass in front of all to see. Folks, I'm here to tell you, you don't need to be bilingual, or a genius, to translate pointing and snickering. That is a universal reaction.
