we connected with our train back to Roma. We got hustled at the train station to upgrade our train to a super train. waiting in the ticket line we almost boarding it.

i guess this is the most famous building The Colosseum with this latter day addition of the cross.

we walked and walked around this city discovering everything. tourist maps helped there was so much too do.

thinking about who might have walked theses same routes.

we must have seen everything and on one sunday we when to the park along with thousands romans.

a family rental buggy of course there are plenty of cafes serving expresso not so odd in a country run on wine and expresso coffee. but here is something left over from the roman times, an original public water fountain
