It kinda tasted like sauce and cheese on a cracker. Rome isn't known for it's pizza. If you go further south, the pizza is better. We had pizza in Florence, and it sucked. Each region is known for different foods. Naples has really excellent pizza. But I could be biased because I'm from there. lol Your pictures are gorgeous. Piazza Navona was my favorite as well as the Trevi. Did you find the Sistine Chapel to be rather on the small side? A lot smaller than pictures depict it.

I think it has been true that most Europeans didn't like our government, but I have always found Italians to be very welcoming and helpful, even when they can't understand a word of what you are saying and vice versa. I am sorry you had that experience because it is so different from the ones I have had. I have travelled to countries where I feel people do actively dislike Americans, but Italy isn't even close to the top of that list for me.

I just studied phrases I would need like "Where is..", "How much?", "Do you speak english?", etc. We took taxis everywhere since we were pretty central it wasn't that expensive, although even though they're metered they will find any way to rip you off. I would definitely recommend trying buses or trains I didn't because my mom rheumatoid arthritis and has problems with her knees and if she was tired taxis were just easier to get to and take back to the hotel. Although personally I found the italians very unwelcoming to american tourists. I just spoke to a friend of mine who took a tour of Italy a year ago and she said the same thing. She just felt unwelcomed. It's still a gorgeous place though and definitely worth visiting. I totally agree with the people not being very friendly in Rome...i went a while back and whenever people asked us where we were from we would reply "America" and they would say "oh" kind of like in a yuck way and than stop talking to us or look away...it got so bad that we finally just started replying that we were from China, because my family and I are Asian...it was hilarious though when they'd reply in return, "How come you speak English so well?" lolz
