Roma





So I've been a bit lax lately on blog updates... But here are a few of the pics from Rome. It was the final stop on our incredible trip. There's simply too much to describe well. If the opportunity ever presents itself, I definitley recommend spending a few days here though.


In short, the traffic is insane. Not just that there's a lot of it, but there are boatloads of scooters and motorcycles weaving in between all of it. Lane markers are mere suggestions. I would have tried some pics of it all, but was too busy keeping my eyes peeled for what I was fairly sure would be a wreck of epic proportions. Strangely - we saw very few collisions. We also saw very few cars without at least one dented fender either.


St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican Museum (Sistine Chapel, etc) are overwhelming. The Colosseum and Roman Forum are no slouches either. We ran ourselves pretty ragged seeing the sights. Reagan continued to be more of a trooper than either of us imagined possible. Though we did bribe her with pasta, pizza, and plenty of gelato.
