Roma!

Paul was upgraded to first class and I was left to board in coach! Boo but it did not matter and much to my surprise just as they were closing the doors the man at the desk came calling my name and took me to 1st class too! it is great to be a platium thanks Paul!

We have arrived! We left Altanta at 3:30PM Friday and arrived Saturday at 7:30am. We took a shuttled from the airport to our hotel "Hotel Anglo Americano" The rooms are small but nice and since we arrived so early we stored our bags and went to look at Rome. It's old!

We first went to the Spanish Steps about a 15 min walk then over to Trevi Fountain where I had to sing three coins in the fountain and threw my coins in hoping they bring me back again someday. we that walked over to the Colsseum and the Roman ruins from the first building of Rome.

We that neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeded a nap so we all had lunch and took some time down. Paul and I got up went shopping a little at the Palazzo Barberini about 20 meters from the Hotel. Yvonne and Dick then joined us for Dinner at a little Ristorante we had homemade pasta, roasted chicken, and red wine. It was very good! How back to sleep. Tomorrow Paul and I are going to the Vatican to see the Sistine Chapel and take the 2 hour tour of the Colsseum. Yvonne and Dick have been there not to long ago so they are off in the morning in another direction we will meet up at 1pm for lunch and touring. I will not say what we have planned in the afternoon you will have to take a look again tomorrow.

Okay maybe I am more tried than I thought I can not get these pictures where they have the right words. I can't move them or anything. so Iam going to bed and will try to do better tomorrow.

love you all
