- Days 15, 16 & 17 -
Rome is so rich in history and we were so excited to learn as much as we could. Once we were oriented and had business cards from the hotel, we ventured off in the city. Over the course of the next two days we visited the Colosseum, the Forum, the Pantheon, the Heart of Rome Walk, the Dolce Vita Stroll and stopped to admire the major landmarks along the way. Again, we had wonderful local guides for the Colosseum, the Forum and the Vatican.
The weather was unseasonably hot and the numerous fountains were a welcome relief. The aqueducts provide a continuous supply of clean water that is cool and refreshing. We always had our water bottles with us and found ourselves refilling them often. It was all we could do to stay cool and hydrated.
Italy is a beautiful country - we enjoyed every minute of our trip and learned so much. We met some wonderful people and made new friends. This was an experience we will remember for a very long time.
