Rome, Sweet Rome

Chow! We have arrived in Rome and are finally able to communicate! For some reason we have been unable to figure out how to use the phones with our phone cards. Hopefully we will solve this problem quickly once we get the chance. But right now we simply want to see as much of Rome as possible! The plane trip here was grueling, and with a bit of walking, some refreshing gelato (I thought I ordered lemone but received melone instead (cantelope, strange but good), and help from a few locals, we arrived at our B&B. After all showering, we went on the town for some dinner and more gelato. It was a refreshing evening, and ended nicely as two men in a restaurant window blew kisses at us as we walked back to our B&B. A very nice welcome to Rome.

In the morning we made our way to our next stop, Hotel Medici. Although it took an hour for us to walk there, Angie ended up learning how to use the map, which will come in handy. We have just come back from mass at Santa Susanna and will soon be on our way to the Colosseum and Pantheon!
