| A shadowy figure. |
| Italian honeysuckle. |
| A Roman soldier packs it in for the day. Don't worry...he'll be back. |
| At the Forum, where old meets old, old meets new, and new tries to figure out what to do with old. |
| The door to our Bed and Breakfast...and the door within. |
Day One - Rome
 | |  |
| At the Colosseum and the Arch of Constantine. |
We arrived in Rome at 1:30 in the afternoon, our luggage miraculously in tow. We
loaded up and took the train to the main station (Termini). From there is was a quick
15 minute hike, looking like tourists or turtles with our big packs, to our bed and
breakfast. We set out to see the sights of the afternoon, looking around the
Colosseum and the forum. A tasty dinner followed, replete with wine and the jovial
atmosphere of a nearby gay bar. Then back to our B&B, exhausted, for a good nights
sleep, troubled only by the anticipation of tomorrow, and the start of our bike tour.
