And that was just the morning. In the afternoon we went to the Villa Borghese and saw the gardens.
Then we visited the zoo which is on the northern part of the estate.
A long day and dinner with wine at the hotel. We are beat. Expenses $6.64.
Busy day! But there’s just so much in Rome.

DeleteWow...how the prices have gone up. Loving these photos you found and share with us on what you saw. It is amazing how that dome was built and withstood so much over the centuries
ReplyDeleteExhausting just to read about it.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what we can do in our youth. Of course, many places in Rome are near each other.
