Day 11:

Do something you enjoy for an extended amount of time this week! 

You deserve it! 

In Australia lunch for me was a quick one hour of something to eat and then getting out of the office for some fresh air. 

In Italy most days i am home for lunch, so lunch is a special part of the day that for me is extended and enjoyed. 

Food is prepared with time!

This week spoil yourself with something that you enjoy doing and try to make is something that doesn't cost money... if that is possible. 

Vino Forum

Now that summer is starting to make it's appearance in Rome, so are the outdoor activities. 

For the month of June there is a Wine Forum on in Rome. 

Monday - Thursday the entry fee is 16 euro and Friday - Sunday 25 euro. 

You get a little bag with a wine glass and there are over 2000 wines to sample. It is not just wine there are sweets from different regions, whisky, grappa, olive oil, cheeses etc. While you taste the wines there is a jazz band playing and 2 or 3 open air lounge areas to sit and relax. 

If you are going to spend any time in Rome throughout June i would recommend this event.
