Roaming around Rome

Hello there! This morning we decided not to visit the Vatican because most of the museums are closed, it being Sunday and all. Instead we walked a ton to various historical sites. A highlight was walking to a park near Garibaldi Monument that provides great views of the city. Another highlight was Gelato for the second day in a row from Tre Scalini in Piazza Novona, I stuck with dark chocolate and tried the coffee flavor too, Mariella had cherry and mint, yesterday it was mint and chocolate. Tomorrow we plan to tour the Vatican with Jamie, a new Australian friend we’ve been talking to during breakfast each morning. He teaches Italian at a secondary school in Adelaide, Australia. We hope to take him for some Gelato at Tre Scalini…I mean we have to share the experience, right? Tomorrow night, after another walking marathon, we will get on a train at 7:10pm, hopefully sleep, wake up in Vienna at around 8am, and then head to Prague to visit a friend and see the sights for a few days.
