ROME

Day two took us to Rome. I LOVED Rome. We had a fabulous time. We splurged a bit and hired a private driver. It was the best decision we made. It enabled us to spend as much or as little time as we wanted at all the sites...and with only 8 hours to see all of Rome we needed to make the best of our time. Our driver's name was Luca. He grew up in Rome and had a degree in archeology. He spoke 6 languages. He was well qualified to give us history, stories, and drive us through Rome. He even had a special pass that allowed us to walk past all the people in line at the Colosseum and get right in. That was sweet! Plus we loved having someone holding a sign with our name on it...that made us feel important! :-)
