The Experience

I’ll be honest—I thought I knew Rome. But standing on that terrace with a cold glass of prosecco, the Colosseum just there, it hit different. Our guide (Giulia? Julia? She joked about her “Roman” name) kicked things off with stories I’d never heard—stuff about emperors and their lovers, not the marble-and-glory stuff you get in textbooks. There was this breeze, smelled faintly like pine and exhaust, and someone nearby was laughing too loud. It felt like we were all in on some secret.

The first shot went down easier than I expected (maybe nerves), and then we wandered into Monti. That’s when the night started to blur in the best way—pizza slices hot enough to burn your tongue if you weren’t careful, spritz glasses sweating in our hands. Giulia pointed out an old brothel door; I tried to pronounce something in Italian and got it so wrong she actually snorted. The group loosened up fast—maybe it was the drinks or maybe just the weird honesty of talking about ancient sex toys under streetlights.

The last stop was smaller, quieter—a tucked-away bar where we got this signature cocktail (I still can’t remember what was in it). By then everyone was swapping half-embarrassed stories from home. I remember thinking how odd it felt to laugh about history like this—with strangers who suddenly didn’t feel so strange. Walking back past the Colosseum after, Rome looked softer somehow. Or maybe that was just me.
