Rome, Italy

Rome, Italy...it is not to be missed. But my first trip to Italy did not take me in this direction. This time, the ship docked in Civitavecchia and I broke down and booked a ship excursion--mainly for the transportation to/from Rome which was a couple hours away. I did not want to miss getting back to the ship. Diana had been here the year prior and decided to stay on the ship. Since it is such a large city, with so much to see, an escorted excursion would be the ideal way to see this city on my own.

Rome is an amazing place. When you walk amongst the ruins, you think, "I'm walking in the same place Julius Ceasar walked." The fountains, the architecture, the food...and even the colorful and flavorful gelato--everywhere one looks in Rome...there is something spectacular to see.
