What a crazy place! When we arrived yesterday we hopped in a taxi from the airport to our hotel. We both immediately commented on the crazy people who ride scooters/Mopeds as a means of transportation. The taxi driver told us that it was the best way to see Rome AND avoid the constant traffic. Rick and I both agreed that there would be no scooter rentals for us, for we want to come home via jet plane rather than pine box. Within minutes doesn't a scooter run into our taxi and, BAM!, the scooter rider is on the ground! Fortunately he was OK, but our taxi was pretty wrecked. Nice way to begin our Roman adventure. So far we have visited the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and Vatican City. All very cool, but the Sistine Chapel and Michaelangelo's work is absolutely mind boggling and breathtaking!
We are hoping to still make it to the Colliseum before heading north to Florence tomorrow. Very rainy today so that is putting a damper (pun intended) on today's plans.
However, we did drive by the Colliseum so that may have to do. Could be a good excuse to return to Rome someday.
The wine is oh so tasty and CHEAP! I have had fresh mozzarella with every meal so I couldn't be happier. The hotel I booked for us in Rome is fabulous; we have a corner suite with two terraces!
CIAO!
