Today we toured Rome by bus. We figured it would be the best way to take in the city as a whole, without completely wearing out our feet (which by the way, are starting to fall apart on us… blisters!). Do I look much like a tourist?
Here’s a quick recap of what we saw:
Archaeological sites. There are a lot, so much so that the tour guide made a joke about them: it’s pretty much impossible for them to excavate any new/old construction site without hitting ancient Roman remains of some sort. It must be an archaeologist’s dream to work here!
Old, historic buildings, fountains, and obelisks.
PS: the Egyptian obelisk in the right-hand side of this picture is from the year 1,000 B.C. OMG!!
The Coliseum.
Vatican City.
In the coming days, we’ll be touring some of these sites up-close and personal. Can’t wait!
We finished the day off with sangria, meats, cheeses, and pizza. It was a relaxing change of pace from the “go, go, go” tourist pace. Loved the view, too (and how cool is that reflection on the window behind us?!)
Oh my! You can write a book about your travels :) The hat is very chic- you guys look like you are having the best time. So happy for you!
