Via Marsala 22 Rome, Lazio, Italy, 00185, 06-445-5241
Our first day in Rome and we're all excited to see the Vatican!! After our first Roman breakfast which looked more like American, lolz. We decided to take the City sightseeing Roma on a Hop on-Hop Off red bus. The metro was on strike and it turned out fine since the bus had a 2 day special, lolz. On the way to the Vatican, we passed by the Colosseum and I wanted somebody to pinch me. I couldn't believe that I was here seeing the Colosseum where all the gladiators were. Not that they were happ...
Vatican City, Lazio, Italy katcapduffAfter passing by the Coloseum on the way to the Vatican city yesterday, we all agreed that we needed to see this great piece of history the very next day. So we hopped on the red bus again and almost ran to the gates. 11euros to get in on a guided tour. It was well worth it! Where do I start? This was the place where the Roman emperors put on "the games". where people could watch the gladiators fight. Not exactly my cup of tea but here I was, walking the same grounds. It was sad to think of t...
Rome, Lazio, Italy katcapduffTwo days ago when we went to the Vatican city, the whole day was taken up by just the Vatican Museum alone. We never made it to the Basilica itself so here we are coming back for the Basilica alone. It was amazing - the largest Catholic church ever built! No shorts, sleeveless t's or revealing clothing was not permitted to enter. So dress proper like going to a church, the Vatican church, really!
Rome, Lazio, Italy katcapduffAll the way from San Francisco, my 16 year old son & I finally reached Fiumicino Airport the following day July 06, 08. We took the Leonard express train 11euros each. It was a nice ride except for the part where you have to lift your heavy luggages up the steps. Our stop was the termini. It was a busy terminal if you ask me but then again, I've never been to a big train station in the States like NY. The hotel was a few blocks away and it was still too early to check in but I was glad that w...

... however when we left, the line was several blocks down the street!! I don't quite know how we seem to avoid line ups but we have ever since we began this crazy trip. I think we only have waited in one line up and that was in Paris. After the museum we just decided to walk around and then walk back to our hostel from Vatican City. We thought it would only be maybe an hour...but turns out it was a little further and took us ...

Rome, Lazio, Italy kallimint... time, my feet is starting to ache again. I tried to ignore my protesting feet and continued exploring Rome. An hour later I gave in to its pleas and went for a quick bite at an air conditioned restaurant. I welcomed the AC with opening arms. It has been a while since I have sweated like a pig! While eating a panini and drinking Fanta (my new fav drink), I met this old couple from Chicago. The day is almost over and I have yet to ...
Rome, Italy jolenewee... show the masterpieces. The museums were very very crowded. We found it hard to move with our own speed. The Sistine Chapel was completely packed - I could hardly find a spot to stand! The Pantheon is the most perfectly preserved of all ancient temples. Built in the 2nd-century by amateur architect Emperor Hadrian, the Pantheon has the widest masonry dome in Europe, beautiful ancient marble decorations and holds royal tombs as well as Raphael's tomb. To experience ...
Rome, Italy chlpierce... Piazza di Pietra, Galleria Sordi, Trevi Fountain, Piazza Venezia, an then Piazza Sonnino. It took about 4 hours in the sun, walking in about 80 degree weather, 50 % humidity (it is so hot...) and then came back to JCU for lunch. I am now typing to my imaginary audience/journal of my trip to Rome. On the way home, we are stopping at a department store to get things that we keep thinking we need for our apartment. Then, siesta and rest until dinner and a crazy ...
Rome, Italy kdut... the other side of the valley, separated by the hill on which Sorana sits. Actually, the restaurant is one of two on the river flats below Sorana, but I guess they take the name of Casteleveccio for their address because it is a bigger town. There are only fifty people left in Sorana. Castelevecccio has 150 or so, the same as Serra Pistoiese, on the next ridge just up the valley from Vellano which has 200 or so. The Sorana river flats are special because of its microclimate. We saw ...
