First Day in Rome


We arrived in Rome by train from Florence without any problems. Once we got off the train, we found our hotel right away, which ended up being only 2 blocks away from the train station. We headed out to the city and found the Colosseum first. It was an amazing sight. We bought tickets and took the audio tour to get further in line. The history behind it is very interesting. Then we just walked around the city in 90 degree heat enjoying the hustle and bustle of the locals. We found a small place to eat for lunch with tomato and mozzarella sandwiches on fresh bread. At night we went to the Trevi fountain. If you throw a coin over your shoulder it is supposed to mean that you will some day be back in Rome. The weather is very warm and sunny, but there is a constant breeze.
