Walking in the Roman Sun...

Day three

We got up late, after a somewhat sleepless night....stupid jet lag....and headed for the Appian Way by subway and bus. Unfortunately, not a good idea during the week when this ancient road has non stop traffic speeding in both directions, loudly! We headed back to Rome, and walked for few hours til Bill's knees told him to go back to the hotel. I walked slowly back across Rome, while he took the subway. The sun was setting when I got back...

Tomorrow we head out by train for Spoleto, in Umbria. We will be there for at least two nights, and may try to rent a room if we lkike it there, and use it to base our excusions into Umbria.
