Doin it up Roman Style

---

We left the lovely Tuscan hills for the heat of Rome. Tuscany was wonderful, although very far from civilization. We did take a day trip to Pisa while we were there, so that was nice.

On to Rome... what a city!!! Here is a laundry list of what we have done and what we thought:

1. Collessium - very cool, beautiful at night. Imagine Gladiators and screaming fans all around!
2. Ancient City - probably almost as cool as the collessium, although stinkin hot!
3. Gelato - in an attempt to (unsuccessfully) combat the heat.
4. Luzzi - the most awesome Italian restaurant ever. So good. £2.50 for a half litre of wine. Wonderful evening spent there.
5. St. Peters Basilicca - seriously, to call this church beautiful would liken it to calling Tim someone who enjoys sports. Totally an understatement.
6. Trevi Fountain - beautiful
7. This town is full of cool monuments, to list them all would take about a million years (and on a public computer not the best idea).

All that said, we are freakin melting here. As I type, I look to Tim and he is sweating as much as I am. Totally different type of heat than Egypt. We are stinking hot.

Off to London tommorrow!

Ciao!
