Food was more expensive in Rome than here in Lisbon if I remember right.

I am looking at my receipt. I think it would add up to much more than $45 in Seattle.

Sandwich ham 1.09 euro. $3.99 US.

Box of mushrooms $1.49 euro. $4 us.

2 smaller onions $.33 Really?

1.19 euro for a huge green pepper $4 in US for a smaller one.

dozen eggs 1.75 euro

This is sick.

I could afford to live here.....
