ARRIVEDERCI ITALIA-LAST 2 DAYS IN ROME

Finally, a picture of our 9 passenger party van, as we return it in Rome-on the 7th floor of a parking garage. Such feat required several reverse and forward maneuvers to get a the proper turning angle of very tight turns. The clearance between the roof of the van and the ceiling on the ramp to the 7th floor was about 1/2 inch

 Spanish Steps

 Carabineri, always texting

 Dinner al fresco at Mario's

 Outside the Galleria Borghese

 Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II, huge massive monument  to Vittorio Emanuele II, built in the early 1900's

 Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the entrance of the Monumento

 We really enjoyed visiting this monument, which has a great military museum inside. The views  of the city from one of the higher levels were spectacular. By then the air temperature in Rome had risen to about 90 degrees.

 Right next to the monument we stumbled on an ancient church, which we could not resist but explore

Arrivederci Italy. Even though we have a long travel list of places to visit, we may be back one of these days. JIR
