Final stop....Rome




It's old, historic, huge and we haven't fallen in love yet.

Rome has been very kind to us. We had lunch at a great Japanese restaurant and put the huge (all you can eat) sushi menu and our stomachs to the test. Then we walked for hours around the Forum and Colosseum and Rome saved it's afternoon downpour for moments after we found the Metro and were on our way back to the hotel.

Today is our last day in Rome, Melissa and I are going for the big sights at the Vatican, Melissa is preparing for her farm experience and I am trying to shove all of our little purchases into my overstuffed suitcase. Our first mishap of the trip happened today, I dropped the keys to our luggage locks down the drain, no chance at retrieving them. Oh well, helps me to remember how flawless our trip has been. Even the storms seem to clear out of town when we are arriving.

See you all soon as I return to California,

My advice to all of you......

Travel Europe:
When you can still climb 500 steps and live to tell about it.
In the Fall when it is cooler and more beautiful than you can imagine.
Pack light..... I brought twice as much as I needed and I was really trying.
Plan well, be flexible and enjoy every cup of cappuccino.
