Our Last Day in Roma...

Today was another full day, but one on our own, which was good. It was the mix of formal tour and 'on your on', that made this tour so appealing. Thank goodness for good street maps (and comfy walking shoes!!), since we probably walked 10+ miles down streets and alleys all day.

The weather here is cool...much cooler than I expected and what had been actual temps just last week. Has been in the 60s, a little breezy, and a little rainy, but tolerable. Lots of tourist here, but the crowds aren't too bad.....no worse than being in mid-Manhattan...

Today, we saw the Spanish Steps and all the designer shops and 'beutiful people' along the way. My favorite site was the Trevi Fountain. We sat there for a while and while there enjoyed our first gelato since we arrived (we've been pacing ourselves!!...). The fountains are absolutely beautiful. Then, on to the Panthanon...absolutely amazing. You're walking down an alley street and all of a sudden...there it is.... We went in a church adjacent to one of the piazzas in the area of the Panthanon and just sat for a while. Think that did us both good....

Kathy, we found the restaurant you had been to, but had a late lunch, so opted for it on the next trip (yes, there will be a next trip....). Also, tried to find the store, Le Feure with the 'grapes', but couldn't find it. We did ask around, but no one was familar with it in the area... Again, next time...

We head from the hotel to the train station tomorrow morning at 9:15 am. There are a couple of 'couples' we've connected with, one couple from Rochester, NY who were on our flight from Philly on Saturday....no, Sunday....

I'll try to post pictures tomorrow. Sending love....
