The Bittersweet Life

Episode 507: Seeing (and not Seeing) Rome for the First Time


Listen Later

On the final morning of our amazing first-ever Bittersweet Life listener trip to Rome, we took a bit of time to tape an episode to capture what we were feeling and how the trip was going.

What's it like to see Rome for the first time? And as a tour guide in Rome who has seen the sites hundreds if not thousands of times, is it possible to remember what it was like to see it all for the first time? Do you wish you could go back and see it for the first time again?

We muse on these ideas and more on this episode. Also: Tiffany complains about one of the most annoying things that can happen during a tour. Listen to the end to find out what it is.
