Ciao Ciao from Roma

Hello everyone,

Nicole and I are currently spending our last night in Rome before heading onto Pompeii then Greece. We've been very productive in terms of hitting the sights. We are staying at a camp ground outside of town and found it to be a rather nice experience. Since arriving in Rome, we have seen quite a bit including...Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, 3 churches, Roman forum, collosseum, and Vatican City and all that implies. It's been a whirlwind couple of days but we are enjoying ourselves.

While visiting the Spanish steps we realized we had no idea what these steps were all about so we created our own little history. Ask us about it...and maybe we shall exclose our findings...or maybe not...yes we are nerds. Actually, getting around Rome has been much easier than we had inticipated. Guess we are becoming traveling pros...or maybe Rome is just easy...either way it has been very helpful in hitting the sights.

Thank goodness we decided to stay an extra night in Cinque Terre for it allowed us to avoid a train strike. Yes, a train strike in Italy. Apparently these strikes are fairly common and happen almost once a month...so yesterday and today the trains are out of service, but tomorrow morning they will be ready to take us ontoour next adventure in Pompeii. Alright, must say ciao for now.

With harmony,
Emilie
