Rome wasn't built in a day. . .

but I visited most of it in a day. OK, not most of it but most of what I planned to see. Half of what I wanted to see will be closed tomorrow so I had to see that today but it didn't take as long as I thought it would so I visited most of tomorrow's schedule as well. It's all stuff you've heard of-St. Peter's Basilica [I didn't bet to climbed the dome :-( ], the Sistine Chapel, Trevi Fountain, Forum, Collosseum, Pantheon. There's still quite a bit of the city left to see and it's kind of spread out so tomorrow will be busy as well. And the weather is trying to cooperate. It was raining when I started out but there wasn't a lot of umph behind it and it had mostly given up by late afternoon.

I've met lots of folks in my travels but I didn't think I'd ever meet the same person twice. Once of my roommates from Florence is staying at the hostel here as well. I think she might have felt slighted that I didn't remember her right away and I would feel bad about that except I never remember people and one this trip there are just sooo many new faces and places, I can't tell any of the players without a program! I have to look at my notes and pictures to remind me which hostel was where!

Well, my blog here is a skimpy because I'm sort of preoccupied with thoughts of what's ahead-INDIA. And, I'm gonna be on my own in Mumbai for the first 5 days. The excitement level is ratcheting up at a rapid pace.
