Well we got soaked today here in Rome. But it was all worth it. We went back to the Pantheon to see it in the rain and it was incredible. I took the video camera to get some good video of Rome at night and wound up getting what I hope is some great video of the rain in the Pantheon. That place is incredible.
 We went to lunch just off Corso Vittorio Emanuelle III to a place called Insalata Ricca (Which means "Rich Salads"). Vic has been craving salad and this is supposed to be the best salads in Rome. And they did not disappoint. Vickie Loved it !! We then walked to the ancient ruins, this time armed with the video camera. We got some great footage.Then for our last dinner in Roma we went to  Isidoro, in the ancient Rome area just off Via Di San Giovanni In Laterano in the San Clemente Piazza. We were told they had the best pasta in Rome and again we were amazed !! Vivkie had the Penne with Walnut sauce and I had "Special" pasta with bacon and hot tomatos. All I can say is I have never tasted pasta like that...Incredible. The service was great and topped off with a hand made chocolate mousse with a chocolate liquor drizzle....Pound after pound has been added to my belly...Add the bottle of Santa Christina for me and a bottle of Pinot Grigio for Vic and the night was complete. The only proble was...the weather. We ran to the metro an got soaked....On the other end when we got off the metro it was raining even harder. We trotted as fast as Rome will let you to our hotel, but by the time we got there we were soaked and sober !!!! What a waste of good vinno !!!
 Tomorrow we head for home. 11 hours on 2 flights.... I consider the rain is just Rome crying that we are leaving.
 We have had a blast here in Italia, and have met soooo many great people. I can't say enough about Silvio, Morizzio and Deborah. And to all the people we met on the tour, we will miss you all. We have made some great friends from all over the world.
 Tomorrow we say arividarci to Rome and Italia....Sadly....But we look forward to coming home to all our loved ones !!!
