Still having fun!

We're just finishing up sightseeing in Rome, and are headed to Florence this afternoon. I've always heard it's hot here....and it's only May!! We had some minor hiccups with our timing yesterday afternoon (got to the Forum too late and it was closed), but it worked out for the best. We were able to catch it this afternoon after the Vatican. Now, we're on to the next stop and more fantastic art. I can't believe how old everything is here. There's Roman rubble just laying around all over....some of this stuff, if we had it in the U.S., we'd put it behind bulletproof glass in some museum....here they use it to stand on and sit on. Fantastic!
