WOW - it is HOT is ROME - Thank goodness for all the many fountains around the city! Fountains that people splash COLD water on themselves and then fill up their empty water bottles to drink - UGH - that is what I would have thought a week ago - but a friend said that after spending 4 euros for each bottle of water and walking miles and miles through the HOT city - you finally do as the ROMANS do and drink the water!
We had a another GREAT day - I think it was a little better because most of us got about 12 hours of good sleep! We hit the streets of Rome today traveling on foot to all the sights - Trevi Fountain (ugh the masses of people! But we found a good photo spot!) - Victor Emmanuel - The Spanish Steps - The Pantheon and many many more! We walked and walked and walked - for about 12 hours today! Well, around 5:30 pm we did stop and rented 2 golf carts for an hour and toured some of the side streets and sights we had seen throughout the day - that was FUN! Except for the Italian lady that blessed me out for being in the taxi lane - whoa - I thought I had a temper! CRAZY! We ended up having a great dinner at a restaurant - Aroma Ristorante. Heading home - everyone was happy! Until our tour guide (Clark) took us in a 3o minute loop heading in the wrong direction - tired feet - tired chicks - BUT we did find some Gelato and were feeling much better! Got home about 10:30 pm and are heading to bed! What a great day! I am proud of all my precious children who endured much walking today! There is more to come!
