A quiet day

 We didn't do much today as I wasn't feeling that great.

Caro went for swim and then tried to go for a walk however the wind was really strong and whipped up the sand. At one point today a piece of plastic blew up into our balcony. When I put it back over the railing the plastic went straight up to the balcony above us (and maybe even higher!)

We went grocery shopping at couple of different locations. We decided to buy pre-made food for tonight's supper. 


It turned out to be pretty good!

We just lazed around all day having a few Facetime get togethers or calls with several family members.

Rome July 16

A great day.We started by visiting the Roman Forum and Palatine hill followed by the coloseum. It was a fantastic visit to all three locations and took most of the day 

After our coloseum visit was over we started walking. We visited  numerous churches including one that had 2 ancient churches below it. In one church we saw a Michelangelo sculpture. Some of the churches aren't even the guidebooks but the reality is if these churches were in any other city they would be on the tourist maps as a must see.

We also went to the top of the Victor Emmanual building which is very  near the Forums.

We walked MANY streets enjoying the sights and sounds before finally eating pizzas near our B+B and getting home after 9.

Food is terrible expensve here and at first we thought we would go to a store to buy food but there simply aren't any around like at home.
