We left the condo in Campomarino this morning around 6:30, and arrived in Rome around 10:30. There was no traffic this morning, which is a change from what I normally encounter near Rome. Aggie and I checked into the hotel and wasted little time before heading out to see some things that we had yet to see in Rome.
We visited the Bocca della Verita (Mouth of Truth) made famous in the movie Roman Holiday. Then we ventured to the Vatican and St. Peter’s Basilica to see the new placement on Pope John Paul II’s tomb. He was recently moved from the catacombs underneath the basilica into the main church. We also ventured past the Coliseum, which we have both seen before just never together. We finished up our sightseeing at Piazza Navona where we ate lunch and had some gelato.
Tonight we are at the Hilton Rome Airport hotel. It is about a 4 star American hotel in a land of 2 star hotels. It is also connected right to the airport. Flight home is 10:10 tomorrow morning.
