Day 2

Day two in Rome. We took a double decker bus tour - one of the kind that you can get on and off everywhere. We got off at the Fountain of Trevi - saw that, got some Gelato - then went to the spanish steps. Nancys said "I think we should go to that main street" then we saw a hand made sign pointing down a different road, so we followed that. That was the last sign for that! So we wondered around a bit. Then Richard said "let's go this way", Nancy said "I don't think so", but we went anyway - Richard should have listened to Nancy!!!! =) On the way back from the Spanish Steps, we went the same way we came (Minus Richards extra turn) we were just about back to where the bus was, we noticed, that if we had gone to the main street in the first place, we would have been right to the steps! (sigh) Oh well, we had fun anyway!
We went to the Colosium (sp?!?) and we were hoodwinked by a tour guide, to pay "a little extra" to get a great tour and avoid the que (line) - plus he said there were no tours inside, and no "sinage" explaning things. Well, we did it. The tour guide went to two spots, and blah, blah, blah - the whole time! It ended up we COULD get tours inside - for much less than what we paid, AND there were signs! We went back to the guy that signed us up to complain, in the hopes of getting some sort of refund, but no such luck (Although Nancy did feel much better that she at least TRIED!!!)
We had a little rain today - and some thunder and storm clouds.
We saw some other things as well (but I am actually writing this on day 3, so I forget just what it was now!!) =)
