Walking Around Rome

It’s Tuesday morning already and we are up again after our post game nap to join the group for breakfast. It wasn't easy going back to sleep after watching the Giants win the World Series! Mark is off to his meeting and I got ready to check out as we are changing hotels. We left the overpriced Excelcior for a Priceline great deal boutique hotel 5 minutes away called the Hotel Rex. The staff is very nice and we have free internet so we can keep blogging away through the last couple of days of our stay. I am feeling ready to go home.

My self guided walking Rome tour today took me to: Piazza Della Repubblica

Mussolini's Wedding Cake Building in the Piazza Venezia.

Santa Maria Maggiore is close to our hotel. It is the only church in Rome in which mass has been celebrated every day without interruption since the fifth century.

Campo de Fiori where you can get the best foccacia from Forno!

After hours of walking, I went back to hotel to meet up with Mark and get ready to join some friends for dinner at Giovannis. The food was excellent as was the wine which included 2 Nobile di Montepulciano, 1 Barolo, and 1 Brunello di Montalcino.
