Roma

“Not all those who wander are lost.” – J. R. R. Tolkien

Recipe for a day in Rome

Ingredients:
1 Camera
1 Good Map
2 Adventurous Friends
A large dose of a willingness to walk far distances

Then mix together the following in order:
Take the train into Rome
Get on the metro
Visit the Colosseum
Discover that the Basillica of St. Clement is only open at odd hours, so you’ll have to visit another time
Get Lost by the Roman Forums and something else
Ask for directions
Eat at Trattoria Giggetto Al Portico D’Ohavia in the Jewish Ghetto
Go inside the Pantheon
Ask for directions
Trevi Fountain (you must throw a coin over your shoulder in the fountain with your back to it)
Ask for directions
Sit on The Spanish Steps, then by the sinking ship fountain with gelato in hand
Take a cab back to the train station – it’s too far to walk

Enjoy this wonderful day in Rome over the course of the day.




The Arch of Constantine



The Colosseum



Eating in the Jewish Ghetto. We were told to have the fried artichoke.



The Pantheon



You can't take many steps before running into more ruins.



Trevi Fountain



I love this picture! Sandy and I were trying to figure out where we were and getting help from others.



The Spanish Steps
