I don't have too much to say about Rome.  I feel like everyone knows a lot about what to expect, and there are a lot of tourists and history.  The city is much smaller than I expected, and we were able to walk to everything which was nice.  I'm very glad I went, but I'm in no hurry to go back soon (but I still threw my coin into the Trevi Fountain!).

One thing that we did that was cool was a wine tasting at our hotel.  They had 17 different wines, and they had them set up at different tables with food so you know what food to eat with which wines.  They also gave us a booklet that explains how to rate wine and a form to use to do the rating.  I am proud to say I had some of every wine, and barely spilled any out (except some dessert wine that tasted like whiskey... ick).  Plus you knew it was good wine - no hang over the next day!

Also, FYI, February was a bad time to go because the catacombs were closed.  I think it was the entire month that they closed for maintenance.  So that was unfortunate.
