THE DAY OF WALKING AND WIDE OPEN SPACES . . .

On Saturday we rode the bus and metro out to the Appian Way which was part of very early Rome as one of the earliest important roads. We also saw several other early landmarks and churches, and it was more in the country than the other places we had visited. There were sheep grazing in a meadow and we saw some beautiful private villas/farms. It was a lot of walking, but on our bus ride back, we stopped and photographed the pyramid that one of the rulers had made for his burial place, right in the city. What an amazing place Rome is! We had a nice dinner together on the Campo di Fiori and heard the cheers from the crowd whenever they scored! A very big deal!

On Sunday, Debra and I are headed for Florence!
