First day in Roma

Tuesday morning found us hitting the pavement early. We tried to have the hotel breakfast but there are no less than 50 teenagers staying in same hotel so the breakfast room was filled to over capacity. We found good food down the street on the way to the colosseum. Paid for a guided tour, very informative, it also included admission to other big buildings across the street. After a while all the old rocks start looking the same. Paid for a Hop on, Hop off tour and made it to many other old buildings via the comfort of an open top bus. Weather here today has been great. Recovering from minor sun burns from Pompei and Vesuvius so the overcast skies and sprinkels felt good. Hopped off the bus at the Trevi Fountain and pitched in our euro's. Waiting for good luck or good love, whatever you're suppose to get from it. How much luck or love does ,50 £ buy these days anyway ? We'll let you know. Had celebratory birthday dinner (late) for Char, italian food, and now doing post.

I am officially filled with jealousy as I read your fun posts about your trip! I expect to see all the souvenirs and hear more upon your return!! It is inevitable that I will request one or both of you to act as my tour guides on a return trip in the future!!
