Near the Colosseum there is what we would call a park full of amazing old ruins. We spent some time exploring and then decided to follow in the footsteps of one of Janna's favorite movies, Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn. Anyone who has seen the movie will recognize the Trevi fountain and the Spanish steps.
...and of course the food...and a car even smaller than ours.
Our last day...We had heard nightmare tales about the line to get into the Vatican, but it would be hard to go to Rome and not check out the Pope's house. The expression on Janna's face tells you all you need to know about the 3 hour line in the hot sun. Then when inside we were herded like sheep to the point where all christian thoughts one should have in such a place were lost. Oh well, we did get to see the Michelangelo painting on the Sistine chapel ceiling. No pictures where allowed inside...except in the cafeteria. Drinking beer in the Vatican...got to love it.

Hi Aunty,
No Harley shops, but we have seen the occasional bike. They sure turn heads around here.
