In March 2022, I took my Mom to Italy. We flew into Rome from Chicago and spent our first night in Fiumicino, the town by the airport, getting over the jet lag before taking the train south to begin a trip that would work its way back north. On March 19, we walked around town on a gray afternoon, stopped in at a grocery store, and had spaghetti carbonara for dinner.
