This little birdie (think it is a Robin) was the one who greeted us first when we landed in Rome, on 3rd May 2008. Caught him/her when I was scanning the neighborhood of the hotel where we stayed. It was a pleasant evening and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the trip. The hotel was in a residential circle and there were lovely houses with spacious gardens around. This particular house which was next to the hotel compound had a huge lemon tree full of ripened fruits. The houses and well maintained gardens and neighborhood gave an inside view of the life style of the people of modern Rome.
