Italy part VI – ROME!!!

Rome!  There is so much to see in Rome!  We were there two full days and three nights.  We loved our hotel, Gigli d’Oro, and how personalized it was, with only 6 rooms, just newly renovated. We also had so many great meals…antipasta galore!!!  Friday, May 20th, we celebrated my parents 39th wedding anniversary!

Enjoy Roma!
