Arrivederci Roma

Early in our first look at Rome we began the day at St. Peter's Square. As we visited Castello Sant' Angelo on our last day, we walked up on the outer parapet and saw a wonderful view of the square from the high vantage point. It was a feeling of completing a circle for us. Meanwhile, we stopped in a small cafeteria for appetizers and a soft drink. The owner, on the right, visited with us for quite a while, and then our waiter, on the left came by and heard we were from the Chicago area. He was so pleased to tell us that he went to high school, not in Italy, but in Croatia. What would make that interesting to a Chicagoan? He was a high school pal of former Bulls star Toni Kukoc. Small world!
