I loved this Michelle. An evocative snapshot of your life in Rome. I find it interesting to think about community and what that means. I love going into my local cafe for coffee and being greeted by name and having my coffee made before I even have to order it.
Today we walked the streets of Trastevere, near La Chiesa Santi Quaranta Martiri e San Pasquale Baylon and Chiesa Maria in Trastevere. Incredible sites.

Yes I think you are right. London is filled with small towns and villages
