Bienvenudo a Roma!
Hello everyone. We made it to Rome safe and sound after a very long flight and a quick layover in Zurich which included a sample of Swiss chocolate. We arrived, checked into our hotel, showered, and immediately went out for lunch/dinner (it was about 3:30). Then we went on a walking tour of the city which hit all of the hot spots including the colosseum, the pantheon, the ancient city, Trevi fountain, etc. Then we slept. And slept. For 12 hours.
Today, we basically spent the entire day walking around Rome, seeing more sites, eating more (great) food, shopping, and drinking (strong) espresso. We have probably walked 20 miles already. The highlights of the day were (1) Alexis getting a quarter of a hard boiled egg on part of her pizza, and (2) the owner of our hotel thinking I speak Italian because of my pronunciation of "va bene."
Tomorrow we're going to Vatican City if the crowds aren't insane.
PS. Look at what this computer can do: è, é, à. Even: ù and ç!!!

Hey ya'll--your first day in Rome sounds like our first day there too--guess things haven't changed much in 6 years! Hope you're having a great time and will have better weather then we're having in the south.
Make sure to have the house wine with dinner--it's better than anything they have in a bottle, no matter where you are. Have fun!!
