So. We are in Rome!!!!! Saw the Pope! (Jody says his english isn't as good as the previous Pope- 'course this is her 2nd trip to Rome soooooooo..... ;-) ). What else? Our feet hurt. Jody is sick (meh!!!!!). But we're having an awesome time (and we discovered a good lunch for 2.60€). We're off to Siena on Saturday!!! Then comes Paris....

Hrm...

I will say the streets in Rome are a bit frustrating- the people drive....uniquely...and the streets are packed. Jody and I aren't big crowd people so its a little trying at times, but then you turn a corner and see Trevi fountain or Vatican square for the first time and it makes up for it. The gelatto is also bene! I will be happy to leave the bustle of Rome for Siena as its starting to wear on me a bit. Jody bought a Prada bag (how she can afford it is beyond me- and she paid cash!!!!).

More from Siena (or more likely Paris).

(BTW, no one seems to take credit card or travellers cheques which is very annoying).
