We drove the 2 hours up to Rome and opted for an on-off bus tour which allowed us to see all the key sites and get on and off at our leisure to explore more areas on foot. We had lunch in Piazza Navona, my favorite, and from there walked to the Trevi Fountain and Pantheon where we were taken back by the beauty of the sculptures and the architectural skills of the ancient Romans. We walked the perimeter of the Collosseaum..not wanting to wait in the huge lines to get in, and indulged, as usual, in a few scoops of gelato before hopping back in the car for our journey home. My parents just 'couldn't take it all in' since every where you look there seems to be a sculpture, monument, gorgeous piazza or enormous structure to look at. We'll be spending some more time in Rome before they leave, and they'll be sure to go back again to experience even more of Rome during a future visit to Italy.
