Greetings from Roma

So my Delta flight out of Atlanta was a very pleasant one. I actually sat next to a gentleman who runs a few businesses in Bowling Green, KY. One of the business he runs with his wife, is a very popular Greek restaurant in the city. She is Greek, and he is from Albania, I believe.  Sitting next to someone who knows many of the same people in BG, as I know for eight hours can make for some interesting conversation.  I did manage to catch Vilson snoring very loudly for a little bit.

I managed to get some sleep on the flight. As a result, I was prepared for a little sightseeing in the City Center vicinity of Rome. Or so I thought I was. I walked around for about an hour and a half. Rome must be one of the sunniest cities in the world. Out of the now six days I have spent here (five on a previous adventure), bright sunny days are all that I have been able to witness.

I walked into a few churches that I didn't see the on the 2011 visit, and bought a panini. That was the extent of my excitement for the walk. I wanted to stay near the bus station, since this airport actually does require an hour before getting to your boarding gate.

Anyway, I have a few pictures that I took while walking around near the City Center area of Rome today. I didn't visit any of the other monuments or big sites in that two hour span. There was no need to risk missing a flight today.
