When in Rome

When in Rome the first thing you have to do is get there. That was quite a plane ride. We flew from DFW to ohair and then on to Rome. We were in the air a total of 11 1/2 hours, watched the sun set and rise within just a few short hours of each other, and make several unsucessful attempts to sleep on the plane. We haven't slept since Wednesday night and we are wore plum out. We had a great first day in Rome. We saw the Roman colosseum, all of the roman forum, palentine hill, trajan's market, and capital hill. All of this without a tour guide in five hours. Julie has done impecable research and it has paid off. We are going turn in a little early tonight and we will be hitting the ground running in the morning with the Vatican stuff. Stand by!!!
ARRIVEDERCI!!!!!
