No, no horses, but we are finally back in Rome. Even though we decided to travel business class LAX to ORD to Fiumicino, it took 24 hours, and I don't know about you, but sleep is not possible! Dozing periodically, gritty eyes, etc. make me long for the transatlantic cruise to cross the pond...
But Joey, Art, Lillie and I checked into our hotel and started exploring the neighborhood around the hotel until we couldn't walk anymore, and stopped at a cute little touristy pizza place. The pizza was good, not great, but sitting was wonderful. When we couldn't stay in our seats any longer without becoming one with the wood, we dragged ourselves out, stopped at a little grocery for room provisions, then continued down the street a few blocks so we could see the Colosseum live. But - exhaustion set in and we headed back to our hotel for naps.
After a 3 or 4 hour nap, we popped out of the hotel for a quick pasta dinner a block away, and it was good! Not great but good. When we mentioned that to the gentleman at the desk when we returned to the hotel, we asked for a restaurant that we would want to return to Rome for, in order to eat there again. He gave me two names. I look forward to reporting the results!
