Frullati

Cafe near Borgo Pio, Rome, Italy  © Doug Hickok

Today would be a perfect day to find a tranquil spot... off the beaten path.
Relax... pull up a chair and savor a fruit smoothie with me, Roman style.

    Wonderful, vivid color. When I first saw just the title but had not seen the photo or the narrative, my first thought was "Sounds like an Italian song!"

    A large double espresso wouldn't be out of place either in your image that's so redolent of a Roman or Parisian sidewalk cafe.

    You found the perfect spot even in a busy and chaotic city like Rome.

    Une belle invitation à se laisser aller au bain de lumière, à se la couler douce en dégustant ce qu'on voudra!
    Bon week end!
