Adventure Rome, November 21-23





Ahh Rome! Needless to say, it does have some of the Italy flare we all expect. Luckily only one of our suitcases got lost (Brooke's) from the flight from Paris to Rome. But it came later that evening. We were about a 10 minute walk from Trevi fountain and the main shopping center for tourists! Gleato, margherita pizzas and vino... boy did we have fun.
The weather... partly rainy with some sun. Luckily we had more sun in Rome than in Paris and London. That was by sheer luck I am sure.
While in Rome we experienced the Metro, not as advanced as Paris and London, but functional. We visited the Collisuem (Gladiator style), Vatican and a few mom and pop resturants where the pasta was fresh, the bread fantastic and the wine to die for! All in all, Rome was a great adventure.
