Roaming in Rome








WOW! Rome is an amazing combination of old, older, and oldest...juxtaposed with a very modern culture. We have walked (and walked and walked) all over the city, sometimes by choice and sometimes because we were lost. I could blame it on the maps...the writing is very small while the street names are very long! Or, I could say that while all roads may lead to Rome, nary a one is straight! To make travel more complicated, the names change often and street numbers change depending in which side of the road you're on! Truthfully, it could be our warped sense of direction and the fact that we are enjoying the scenery along the way!Regardless of the reason, our getting lost has led to some fantastic finds!

Today's sites included the breath taking Colosseum, forum, and capital hill! When I figure out how to upload pictures to the blog via the iPad I will post them! Ciao for now!
