大俗语说“条条大路通罗马“， 今天我和PJG就坐火车去罗马 😂
昨天半夜维罗纳就开始打雷闪电下雨，下了一晚上，今天早上还在下，幸好民宿的主人已经说好帮我俩叫出租车。这个民宿应该我俩住过的最有民宿感觉的地方，因为真的得到了主人的帮助，有什么问题，PJG发一个邮件过去，基本上10分钟内，男主人就会过来提供信息。虽然我们的沟通需要通过google翻译，但是交流还是很顺利和愉快的 😀
坐Italo火车从维罗纳到罗马要3个小时8分钟，还是很方便的。到了罗马后，坐公交64路就到了民宿。这个公交还真拥挤，让我想到了当初在北京工作时候挤公交的经历，幸好车上有空调。民宿的主人又是一个幽默热情的意大利人，不过他自称是罗马人，给我俩不仅简单介绍了一下民宿，也捎带着展示了一下他自豪的罗马历史。 我俩所在的区域叫特拉斯提弗列（Trastevere），是罗马的第13区，离梵蒂冈非常近。这里有点儿像一些意大利的小镇，有着狭窄的鹅卵石路小巷，及两侧百年历史的建筑，所以这里会少有些罗马其它的历史区域铺天盖地般游客的嘈杂。
在民宿安顿好后，我俩去傍边的区中心地带解决了晚餐，便会民宿休息了。

The famous saying is, “all roads lead to Rome”, today PJG and I took a train to Rome 😂
In the middle of the night, Verona began to come alive with thunder and lightning all through the night. It was still pouring down in the morning. Fortunately, the owner of the AirBnB said he would help call us a taxi. This particular AirBnB was probably the best place to stay so far. Because we really got a lot of help from the owners. Whenever PJG would send an email they would respond basically within 10 minutes, and Francisco would come over to provide the information. Although our communication needed to be translated through google, the communication was always smooth and enjoyable.
The train took 3 hours and 8 minutes from Verona to Rome. It was very convenient. After arriving in Rome, we took bus 64 which let us off only 5 minutes from the apartment. This bus was really crowded, reminding me of my experience of crowded busses when I was working in Beijing. Fortunately, there was AC on the bus. The owner of this home was also a humorous Italian, but he claims to be a Roman, giving us not only a brief introduction to the apartment, but also a show of his proud Roman history. Our area is called Trastevere, the 13th district of Rome, very close to the Vatican. It’s a bit like an small Italian town with narrow cobblestone roads and century-old buildings on both sides, and seem to be less touristy that other parts of Rome.
After we were settled in the apartment, we went to the center of the area to find a place for dinner, then returned to the apartment for the night.
