What surprised or amused me in Rome (besides their knockers):
CLEAN seat-less toilets: a good thigh strengthening exercise
Orange trees--didn't expect to see those along the cobblestones of Rome!!
Surprised to see our daughter left her mark in Rome.
Vatican Swiss Guards in Michelangelo's-designed uniforms
Manly men!
Palm trees. . . PALM TREES--didn't know they grew in Rome!!
Bicycle-built-for- four
Villa Borghese Gardens
(ok, ours was equipped with a small motor to help us up hills!!)
Funky Roman Pines
(only "pine" on top--Ron loved these!)
These were the things that caught me eye--that the guide-books didn't tell me about--that my limited knowledge was unaware of--that I needed to travel to Rome to find out for myself--
that help me fall in love with Rome.
isn't europe amazing? glad to see you two had so much fun!
