Rome!!!

Well we made it to Rome and Dave and Cheryl arrived about 3 hours later. We haven’t got a chance to do much sightseeing yet.  Getting here requires a little effort. As I write this I’ve been up for 29 hours  with only some cat naps on the Plane.

We have only had one meal and some Gelato so far but it’s all good! Here is a real pizzeria right near our hotel. One euro per slice.

Dave and Cheryl crashed when they got here but I think their flight was longer than ours. Connie and I checked out the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore that is a few blocks from our hotel.

It’s pretty hard to describe these places. I’ll just let you look at the pictures or you’ll have to zip on over here.

You could spend hours in one church and not see all of the detail.

Don’t forget to click on these photos to see more detail.

I don’t know the history of this place yet but you could look it up.

Even the streets here are interesting. Many of them are all brick.  Tomorrow we tour the ancient part of town so hopefully I’ll get some good stuff there. Now say goodnight Tom….goodnight.
