This morning we struck out again to experience Roma… and it is an experience! Rome is a wild place, bustling everywhere you look, and talk about some pretty old stuff!! Brings back a few of the memories I have from being half awake in my art history classes. There have been a few “ oh yeahs…” along the way. We visited the Colesseum and the Roman Forum/ Palatin Hill area. Very interesting ! We walked there and back because though we did but a Roma Pass we couldn’t figure out the bus situation, we plan to study on that this afternoon. Walking does take you past people and places you wouldn’t otherwise happen upon, so it’s all good as they say.

Next up is Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and everywhere in between. To my brothers… you would appreciate the extreme “muff” around here!

Also saw the Pantheon, pretty awesome, Romes only continuous in use building since it was built. Outsides a little rough but the inside is 5 star hotel quality.
