we are just starting our second day in italy. yesterday we did rome-in-a-day! whew -- it was a little bit exhausting -- but highly worth the effort. rome is beautiful with all of its old old gorgeous buildings, ruins, and fountains. we toured st. peter's basillica, the vatican and sistine chapel, the pantheon, the forum, and the colloseum! all were wonderful. i think i enjoyed st. peter's basillica the most. today we're off to tuscany!
I'll just add a couple thoughts. Rome is beautiful reminds me some what of London and therefore ranks up with one of my favorite cities in the world. Huge old buildings fill every street in the city area. Beautiful fountains flow everywhere and where else can you walk around and see the works of Rafael, Michelangelo, and Bernini everywhere you look. Its really quite remarkable.
The food and wine is great, not to mention the coffee. Chianti tastes so wonderful here and in the hot weather you can't match a cold Peroni Beer. As Tash mentioned we are off to Tuscany, we pick up our rental car and start our driving adventure through the crazy italian streets.
