We arrived in Rome this morning and checked into our hotel which is in the heart of the city which has been great for sight seeing. We took a tour this afternoon of ancient Rome including the Colosseum, the Roman Forum and St.Paul's Basilica. It is very amazing to be standing on these sites realizing how old this city is. The structures and monuments are enormous and so very impressive.
We are visiting this city during their busy season so there are lots of people and the traffic pretty crazy! Glad we're not driving!!
We have already tasted some great Italian food, including pizza, homemade pasta, gelato and of course wine. It has been as good as anticipated. Fresh and delicious.
