Il Colosseo

I’m so happy that we were able to visit the Coliseum. This is a place that I’ll never forget seeing. So far, I’m thinking that this is my favorite part of our trip to Rome. Can anything else inLeia mais
A Hungry Crowd
10 de novembro de 2019, Itália ⋅ 61 °F
I guess that everyone had the same idea that we did because when we got out of the train at Stazione Termini Roma the food court was so crowded. I guess that everyone in Rome eats lunch around theLeia mais
A Great Selection
10 de novembro de 2019, Itália ⋅ 61 °F
I can easily see why this place is so crowded. There’s lots of different stalls in the food court and everything looks so tasty! How are we going to decide what to get?
Hungry
10 de novembro de 2019, Itália ⋅ 61 °F
This was the most appetizing food that we saw and it tasted absolutely fantastic! This is a dish of meatballs wrapped up in what looks like a pizza crust with tomato sauce poured over it. Yum! I’dLeia mais
So Tasty!
10 de novembro de 2019, Itália ⋅ 61 °F
Touring around Rome is making Groot so hungry. He’s loving the local pasta dishes and always eats much more than his share. So far, all of the food here has been great!
Hungry Boy
10 de novembro de 2019, Itália ⋅ 61 °F
Bryan must be starving because he’s eating nearly twice the amount that Kathy and I ordered. He’s usually the first one finished eating too. I don’t know where he puts it all, or how!
Dig In!

Danbo looks hungry but also a bit hesitant to start eating. I don’t know why he’s holding back though. Everything tastes great!
Full and Happy
10 de novembro de 2019, Itália ⋅ 61 °F
We’ve just finished a great lunch and everyone is feeling full and happy. We’re ready to move on to the next thing to see. Let’s have more fun!
Hard Rock Cafe
10 de novembro de 2019, Itália ⋅ ⛅ 54 °F
We decided to go to the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner tonight. The food in Italy has been great but Kathy and I were craving a taste of American style food. We usually eat at a Hard Rock Cafe at leastLeia mais
Waiting
10 de novembro de 2019, Itália ⋅ 55 °F
Groot was left in charge of the notification device that will let us know when a table is ready. Bryan didn’t want to come to the Hard Rock Cafe at all and thought that we should eat at more ItalianLeia mais
We're In!
10 de novembro de 2019, Itália ⋅ ⛅ 54 °F
It was a bit of a wait before we were seated but we’re finally inside! The wait would have been a lot easier if Bryan wasn’t complaining so much about having to eat here instead of another ItalianLeia mais
Mmmmmm.. Ribs!
10 de novembro de 2019, Itália ⋅ 54 °F
I chose ribs for dinner tonight and they were delicious! They were perfectly prepared and made for a nice change from the constant Italian food that we’ve been having. Don’t get me wrong, I loveLeia mais
Happy Times

Dinner was wonderful and everyone was happy. I understand that Bryan wanted to eat more of the local foods but, sometimes, he needs to consider other peoples options and feelings. I’m just glad thatLeia mais
The Long Walk Home
10 de novembro de 2019, Itália ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F
After a great dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe, we left the restaurant and walked out into the rain. Nobody had brought an umbrella, since rain wasn't forecast for tonight, so we just had to deal with it.Leia mais
Starting the Day
11 de novembro de 2019, Itália ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F
We’re getting a bit low on cash so we started off the day by stopping off at the bank and getting some money. We’re using out charge cards for most of our expenses but it’s always good to haveLeia mais
Spanish Steps
11 de novembro de 2019, Itália ⋅ 55 °F
The bank was right by the Spanish Steps. We seem to begin each day from this starting point. I’m glad that our hotel is so close to this iconic Roman landmark.
Where Are We Going?
11 de novembro de 2019, Itália ⋅ 55 °F
Since we picked the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner last night, we decided to let Bryan pick where we go for breakfast. He has so many ideas stored on his phone. I hope that he picks someplace good!
Getting Crowded
11 de novembro de 2019, Itália ⋅ 55 °F
Even though it’s somewhat early, this area is already becoming a bit crowded. I guess that, since this is a big tourist attraction, that’s to be expected. I wonder how many of the people here areLeia mais
The Boat Fountain
11 de novembro de 2019, Itália ⋅ 55 °F
This festive little fountain at the bottom of the Spanish Steps is both beautiful and strange at the same time. It is a baroque fountain of a boat built directly at the foot of the steps that addLeia mais
Fountain Details
11 de novembro de 2019, Itália ⋅ 55 °F
This fountain is unique in that Bernini built it to resemble a boat steadily filled by water pouring out of 2 suns and pouring out into a surrounding basin, giving the impression of a sinking ship.
Thirsty?
11 de novembro de 2019, Itália ⋅ 55 °F
Like the other fountains in Rome, this water is completely potable, and to be honest, will save you a lot of money on your walking treks around the city. Say no to the street sellers peddlingLeia mais
Let’s Walk!
11 de novembro de 2019, Itália ⋅ 55 °F
Bryan picked an open air food market as our destination for breakfast. It looked as if it’s going to be quite a walk to get there but, for whatever reason, he refuses to use the publicLeia mais
Market of Campo de’ Fiori
11 de novembro de 2019, Itália ⋅ 55 °F
It was a longer walk than we had expected, in the rain, but we finally arrived at the Market of Campo dei Fiori. Unfortunately, it wasn’t quite what we expected it to be.
Campo de’ Fiori
11 de novembro de 2019, Itália ⋅ 55 °F
Campo de' Fiori, translated literally from Italian, means "field of flowers". The name dates to the Middle Ages when the area was a meadow.
Shopping

Campo de' Fiori has never been architecturally formalized. The square has always remained a focus for commercial and street culture: the surrounding streets are even named for trades—Via deiLeia mais
