26,000 Roman Steps

Rome surprised us with the fun, ambiance and history. and yes we walked 26,000 steps on our big day on Saturday. Keep in mind we took the cab twice. It could have been more. First nite dinner was fantastic. Cute, reasonable and hard working. You appreciate that because u sense when people are not passionate about their customer. Not so much the second nite.

Our last stroll thru Italy to the Spanish steps was a beauty. The random Opera singers were off the charts. Mr fake bush/for was my favorite tourist gimmick...and we saw many. It was warm but comfortable and folks were out

the extra security on our door was interesting. Should we be worried? Our hotel had ivy from top to bottom. Piazza Navona was completely empty early on Sunday. And the massive wall of chocolate at the gelato location was impressive. I thought the door on the building in the forum ruins was interesting.

Ciao Italy!Read more
