We're Off to Italy!

We headed to Italy and France to celebrate our 7th anniversary!
It was an 11.5 hour flight from LAX to Switzerland (ugh), but just a quick hop over to Rome! We left on a Friday night and arrived on Saturday night - here is Michael on the Leonardo da Vinci Express train into the heart of Roma:
Leaving the airport:
We needed a drink after traveling for so many hours ... so I had a beer when we got to the hotel:
About 2230 we went to a local restaurant for some dinner and vino:
Enjoying some margherita pizza:
... and gelato!
Our hotel on via Nazionale:
We started sightseeing right away so we headed up the road to the fountain. Along the roads there are all sorts of vendors like this:
The fountain about 1 block from our hotel. There were ancient baths behind us - totally normal to have ancient ruins everywhere you turn, huh :)
