As I’ve mentioned before, the hubby and I like to ride bicycles around the city. One of my favorite places to ride is next to the Tiber River. It’s so nice and quiet along the river. At times, I almost forget there is a big, bustling city carrying on right above us.
On this particular day, we stopped to take a drink of water from our bottles (that we filled from one of the public fountains in Trastevere, which you can read about here), and watch the ducks interact with each other as they swam by. As we were getting ready to hop back on our bikes, a saxophone player all of a sudden appeared and starting playing a beautiful song. I had to ask myself, “Ummm, is this really happening?” The moment felt surreal. Although I know differently (I think), it was like he was there just to serenade us as we enjoyed the lovely afternoon.
