Dave and Judy Moss

We did a carriage ride on October 3rd and then took a cab to the other sites on October 4th. Many of the sites are currently being restored, which will take years.

We had a small breakfast in our hotel and then walked to near the Pantheon. We then took a horse and carriage ride around town. We saw a lot of huge churches, as well as the Trevi Fountain.

Tonight we ate at the same restaurant as last night. They gave us each a free Apple Spritz and a free Limoncello.

We will try to post pictures tomorrow.

We left Nashville on Saturday, 10/1, and flew to Atlanta. Unbeknownst to us, it was a 37 minute flight. We had about an hour layover before our direct flight to Rome. It was a really nice flight. We had plenty of legroom, food, and drinks as we flew Premium Select on Delta.

We arrived in Rome at 10:40 AM on Sunday, 10/2, went through Customs, and then got our luggage. We then got the car to the hotel. The hotel is actually a townhouse.

We then walked around by our hotel and had a wonderful dinner at one of the restaurants on the street. They made the chicken parm with baked chicken and it was excellent!

On August 12 we went to the Shedd Aquarium.

This is the largest railroad museum in the US. They have over 300 cars and receive more on a daily basis. It took us 2 days to see all the equipment. They also had a model railroad room which people in the area can work on and run the trains. We did get to go about 5 miles on the trolley car.

She came to the campground and saw our new Motor home. Laurel plays harp professionally. On the 5th we went to Grand Traverse Pie Company and saw her perform for a couple of hours. We had a wonderful lunch. The pies are great! They have over forty different pies.
