May 17. Rome is an interesting city and the historical aspects are tremendous. We took in the Vatican, Coliseum, many churches and chapels, fountains and all the rest that comes with it. The city itself is small and travel is easy. Trains, buses, planes, bicycles, and the good ole tennis shoe. We had an awesome time using most of the modes of transit. We took in the culture from the aspect of Americans. It seems that different peoples views are not all the same. We talked to others about some things and were surprised that they saw it not quite the same way we did. Alas, the world has various types of folks. The total of our stay in Rome was about some more tours and a very long day to Naples and Pompeii. The bus was comfy, but the trip was long and the fourteen hours before we got back to the hotel were grueling. Pompeii was very interesting in the way it was preserved with the ashes from the volcano( Mt. Vesuvius ) The guide was good and we were with some nice people. Worth the time and the cost of the tour, about $300.00 for the two of us. We got back to the hotel and had to rest before our next venture. We hashed over taking the train to FCO airport, but we chickened and reserved a cab.
Peace and Love, Cris & Bob
