The outbound adventure...

We started our journey leaving from SFO (with 5,000 of our closest friends). Some how we skated through check in, security, etc in less that 10 minutes. Haven't figured out how that happened?! Made it to Chicago (after leaving 2 hours late) and thought we would miss our connection to Rome but thankfully that plane was late too! So we left Chicago and 9 hours later landed in Rome. Checked into the Hotel Bolivar in central Rome and just got back from a long walk to and around the Coliseum. We went up many narrow alley ways and discovered about 30 places we would like to eat. But for now a short nap and a shower will do. More to follow and next time we'll post pictures - if we can figure out how! :) Ciao!
