the Mr. with map in Day 1 planning mode…

We arrived as planned on Sunday afternoon.  Fill in the obligtory remarks about fatigue, crying babies on the plane, groggy foggy based confusion at both Heathrow and Rome airports, blah blah blah when you^re final destination is Rome!!

Our Hotel Indigo is very centrally located so we dropped our bags and forced ourselves back out the door.  It has only been 2 days and I just had to say to the Mr. “what did we see on the first day”.  Our goal was to stay in motion day and night and we have stayed true to the goal.

I’ll let the pictures do most of the talking for now as I hear a cocktail calling my name.

Generally speaking, day 1 was the center of town, the Pantheon, the Spanish Steps, Piazza Navonna, lots of churches (full disclosure, a few were used as respite from the heat), Trevii Fountain…

Technical difficulties…I cannot seem to upload pics except this one of the Mr on Day 1 getting acclimated at our hotel’s rooftop bar.  Will continue to work on a fix, have gobs of photos
