I am not kidding!. We toured the Vatican, (big, hot, and full of smelly people, us included) St. Peter's Basilica (Lovely, mass was going on), bought Pope post cards and stamps, visited the Pantheon (our favorite) and a few famous squares (shopping & street performers) ate pizza (with egg on it), walked around Rome in the evening (bella) and called it a day! Roma is big. but all of the sites are assessible by foot if you are willing to walk 15 miles a day. We could stay another day, but being in the crowds and standing in line is not very peaceful...Jim would not have enjoyed the lines...he never did. We enjoyed our time here and now we must seek out our next adventure
Tip of the day: McDonald's has the best signage to the sites. Find the big Arches and you are directed to where to go, other than that, there are no good signs anywhere.
We made it back to our B&B in one piece...Metro, Bus ride and including the 1 mile walk in the dark complete with barking dogs and stray cats, packed our bags and readied for our trip to Pompeii on Tuesday. More homemade Jam in the morning and we were off....I'll let Mackenzie write the next post.
