The Contiki European Encounter Day 10
4 August
Gotta
love the long bus rides. We passed Florence on our
way to Rome, it was a full day in the bus...we double back
to Florence in 2 days because its on the way to
France. Our first night in Rome we were able to walk
around with Deb the Tour Manager and see the Trevi
Fountain, Pantheon, and the Piazza di Spagna. When
we got to the Spanish steps, Deb set us free to find some
dinner and explore the city. With Canadians Jaime,
Christine, and Tracy, Stacy and Reubens and our American
compadres Brad and Sonny, Dave and I set out to find a
restaurant for the ultimate Roman experience.
Lesson: learn to speak Italian. I think I annoyed
the guy in the restaurant by trying to communicate with
him! I got fried shrimp and calamari and the shrimp
were served with their heads on! After dinner Dave,
Brad, Sonny, Laura, Shreya, and I walked to Piazza Navona
and got gelato and soaked in the atmosphere before
returning to the hotel in cab.
