When in Rome...







...eat a lot of Gelato ...drink expesso in a sidewalk cafe; without sitting down it's cheaper .... disobey traffic rules and park anywhere... try home made pasta and take-away slices of pizza ...talk loudly and gesticulate madly ...and as a tourist pack more sight-seeing into each day than in any other city in Europe!
We have had a good Roman Holiday, Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn style; on the scooter, even though ours is not a retro Vespa. Of course, we had to see the Colesseum, Roman Forum and Pantheon,but also enjoyed the vibe of the modern city. St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museum, including the Sistene Chapel, where highlights too.
