When in Rome...

We arrived in Rome at 7am, which is 2am at home. The pilot of our plane was retiring after this trip, we were his last flight. We missed the first train from the airport to downtown, but only had to wait a little bit for the next train. Once we got to our hotel, which is right next to the American Embassy, we went to the Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, and the Trevi Fountain. We also visited a grocery store, they had small hand baskets, but with wheels that you could pull behind you. The grocery store was much smaller than the ones we have at home, and they had alot of fresh produce, alot of cheese, and not too many snack choices. After the grocery we went to Borghese Park and rented a family style bike for a ride through the park. We had a very busy day, tomorrow we are going to the Vatican Museum.

Ciao
