The words don't exist to describe Rome/Italy. Sunday night we arrived, got to our hotel and went out to eat. We ate our meal outdoors apx. 150 feet from the Pantheon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing!!! We then went for gelato and saw two fountains. After that I went to bed; I was exhausted!
Today we had breakfast at the hotel and then went to the Vatican. We payed extra to not stand in line. I'm glad; the lines were very long by 9:30. There was a lot to see and we skipped over lots of it. It became overwhelming. We saw the Sistine chapel. We were there for 2 hours.
We lost each other inside and Irene and I ended up together. We went to the Colosseum. There was lots to see on the way there. We chose not to go inside and instead went to the forum. That was a very interesting place. Lots and lots of ruins. We spent a long there. We also went to the Spanish steps and Trevi Fountain. We did a bit of window shopping and went back to the hotel. We met up with Suzanne and went out to eat. My meal was great. I'm sure the pasta was homemade. Suzanne and I went for gelato afterwards.
I'm exhausted!
