Missed It By That Much
Our last full day in Rome. There were a few housekeeping details to take care of, like tickets for the Fiumicino Express tomorrow and checking in for our flight. And of course, packing. But that still left time for an … Continue reading
Roamin’ Holiday
We’ve been in Rome for over a week now. We’ve gone for long walks every day so we’re beginning to know our way around, and we don’t always have to rely on Google Maps. Of course, we end up seeing … Continue reading
The Appian Way
The Appian Way was started in 312 BC as a military supply road during the Second Samnite War, but it quickly became an important route for trade and communications. Sections of the Appian Way still survive, some in their original … Continue reading

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
We both wanted to visit the forum when in Rome. I also wanted to visit the Palatine hill, one of the original seven hills of Rome. Neither of us were sure we wanted to visit the Colosseum (we’ve been before), … Continue reading
Roman Holiday
If you follow this blog at all, you know we aren’t ones to cram in “must-see” tourist sites when we travel. I’ll admit that we visit some iconic sites (witness Pompeii and Herculaneum) but we also enjoy days where we … Continue reading
No Particular Place To Go
Saturday in Rome. No particular place to go. Friends who were here a few weeks ago were shocked at how busy Rome was. We were worried. They said all the major sites were packed with tourists, and you needed timed … Continue reading
