Our Last Day In Rome
... hill and then went to the right and we found ourselves in the middle of all the consulates, some even had armed guards.

As we walked I imagined all the great & influential people who had walked the very steps in front of me, the history is like none other. Everything in Rome is expensive but in the end its all worth it!
