14 October ’05, Friday.
Because we knew that Ann was going to have to work her way through “jet lag”, we planned a light day. We did make it into Rome about 11:30 in the morning, and that was early for the way the morning started (tough time getting Ann out of bed..). The weather has remained sunny in the low to mid 70’s, and if this continues it will be a great time for us to explore Rome. Once in town, one of the first things Ann wanted to do was get herself some Euros. Then, we were off to see “the city that wasn’t built in a day” and spend some of those new Euros. I’ll do some name dropping now to let you know what we saw…first it was the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli (one of the baths of the Diocletian and the very cool transcript), and then the church of Santa Maria Maggiorie, which is one of Rome’s oldest. Now because “Auntie Ann” has arrived, it doesn’t mean I am going to change my habit of eating…sooo, we stopped for lunch. We found the TI and they gave us a suggestion of a restaurant that “all the locals” go too. Thinking this would just meet our requirements, we headed over. Ann had quiche and glass of Italian wine, while Louise had salad (boring…) and a glass of vino as well. Now that we have the ladies hooked, all I’ve got to do is keep them there… Then with one more church to see, we headed over to Santa Maria del Popolo. This is Raphael’s “Chigi Chapel” and has 2 wonderful Caravaggio paintings from the 13th century. Ok, that is enough, now we have to take it a little easier so we don’t wear our new guest out. To do this we found the stop for the “Hop on Hop off” bus. Buying the tickets, we took a long ride with them and have now seen the whole city the easy way. Fact is, we took the bus all the way around to our train stop…it was time to head home for a barbeque of good ole fashioned hamburgers by me… Tomorrow…more Rome
