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 inЧитать далее
A Hungry Crowd
10 ноября 2019 г., Италия ⋅ 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 theЧитать далее
A Great Selection

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 ноября 2019 г., Италия ⋅ 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’dЧитать далее
So Tasty!

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

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 ноября 2019 г., Италия ⋅ 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 ноября 2019 г., Италия ⋅ ⛅ 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 leastЧитать далее
Waiting
10 ноября 2019 г., Италия ⋅ 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 ItalianЧитать далее
We're In!
10 ноября 2019 г., Италия ⋅ ⛅ 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 ItalianЧитать далее
Mmmmmm.. Ribs!
10 ноября 2019 г., Италия ⋅ 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 loveЧитать далее
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 thatЧитать далее
The Long Walk Home
10 ноября 2019 г., Италия ⋅ ⛅ 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.Читать далее
Starting the Day
11 ноября 2019 г., Италия ⋅ ⛅ 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 haveЧитать далее
Spanish Steps
11 ноября 2019 г., Италия ⋅ 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 ноября 2019 г., Италия ⋅ 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 ноября 2019 г., Италия ⋅ 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 areЧитать далее
The Boat Fountain
11 ноября 2019 г., Италия ⋅ 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 addЧитать далее
Fountain Details
11 ноября 2019 г., Италия ⋅ 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 ноября 2019 г., Италия ⋅ 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 peddlingЧитать далее
Let’s Walk!
11 ноября 2019 г., Италия ⋅ 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 publicЧитать далее
Market of Campo de’ Fiori
11 ноября 2019 г., Италия ⋅ 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 ноября 2019 г., Италия ⋅ 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 deiЧитать далее
