Good picture of a bad day

My great idea was to rent a Vespa and cruise around Rome a la "La Dolce Vita". Rome was built for scooters, little tiny alleyways and lots of traffic. Only soon after we started a driving rain started coming down and refused to stop. We hung out at a restaurant for several hours before finally giving up and returning the bike. It kept pouring all night, flooding the subway stop that connected to the best parts of town. We ended up at a little trattoria down by the train station then packed it in early. Total wash out.
