Had I known the effect my stiletto heels would have on the Italian male I would have left them at home. KIDDING!

KIDDING!

I talk myself into that mantra every time I go shopping. Anyhow, the opera-singing crowd sparkled enough to make us both look exceedingly glamourous! Steve...there is no law that says travelling papas can't cruise through Rome in high heels and flirt with Carabinieri. $4 can be perfection, Amanda.

Steve…there is no law that says travelling papas can’t cruise through Rome in high heels and flirt with Carabinieri.

But the trip WAS glorious, from the perfectly fitting $4 dress she bestowed upon me to tea with opera singers at the Hotel Russe... Mountain Mamma: thanks for the props! I met Sascha in Rome partly because I was prepping to teach a weeklong travel writing workshop there in April. It involved fewer high heels, but just as many smiles! I love the Traveling Mammas site. Even though I'm childless, I plan to keep reading. You ladies rock. Cheers, Amanda Sascha’s made me sound like MUCH better company than I am.

I just wish there was equal opportunity for "traveling papas." I was also entertained by Sascha’s travelogue. I just wish there was equal opportunity for “traveling papas.”

I left out all the really good bits for fear this could reach my local vicar! But, no, seriously...the freedom of travelling with nothing but a credit card and over-priced lipstick in your handbag is phenomenal when you are usually armed with teddies, bottles and wet-wipes.
