Sight Seeing In Rome

Around Rome










Trevi Fountain





Pantheon



Piazza Navona

Today was a hot (36C) but otherwise lovely day. Rather relaxing, tried to gear down a bit. We got on the Hop On / Hop Off bus tour around 9:30, saw a few more interesting parts of the Eternal City. Today was an E.U. holiday so lots of things were closed and our bus route was altered slightly but we adjusted our route and pace accordingly. Enjoyed a leisurely strole from the stop at the Fori Imperiali to Trevi Foundation; over to the Pantheon and next to the Piazza Navona.  Met all sorts of nice people; would you believe three different couples from Chicago, IL on their honeymoon? Other kind Americans (N.Y. state, Florida, Texas), a bunch of Canadians (Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary) and a very friendly family from Osaka, Japan. Relaxing afternoon, packed and prepared for our flight to Athens tomorrow finished with a final sidewalk supper in Rome. Been quite the visit – next, on to Greece!
