A Walk Through The Eternal City
"After an orientation walk through our neighborhood, we'll enjoy an "Am-I-really-here?" la dolce vita stroll through the heart of Rome." - Rome In Seven Days Itinerary, www.ricksteves.com

Exploring On Our OwnAfter a good night's sleep, Derek and I began to explore Rome on foot, to get ourselves oriented and shake off the last of the jet lag. Derek's must see for this trip was the Spanish Steps. As we stepped into the square, we heard music and a marching band entered. The City of Rome Municipal Police Band entertained us with a 20 minute concert that included Frank Sinatra's "My Way".

Meeting Our GroupIn the afternoon, we returned to our hotel to meet our guide, Ben Cameron, and our group. Ben was a blast. His "random access" mind was a perfect fit for a city whose history is so diverse! We ate dinner together, and made the pilgrimage to Trevi Fountain.
