What the heck

well we started out with a great breakfast on the terrace atop the hotel...Like every other morning. Then a combination  bus ride and walk to Domus Agustana from the first century AD next to the Colosseum that took us about 2 and a half hours . Then we had lunch good stuff. then we walked to the Santa Marie Maracoeli we climbed 122 steps to the top and there was a wedding going on no entrance...What the heck. Then we got on the Christina hop on hop off bus and rode it around once. We decided to go to Bourghese Museum walking of course oh! blood heck it was so dam hot...it took us about 80 minutes ....through crowds you would not be leave ...go to Rome in march ha!!! Well we got to the Park (Bourghase) and it was like a circus honestly a circus!!!! Kind of mesmerizing though.We finally arrived at the museum and would you believe they were sold out until Tuesday...you don't believe it right well we sure were bamboozled ...then we set off home again it was now 4:30 pm and hot!!!! We arrived at the Spanish steps...again there were at least a zillion people there ...We stopped for our dinner and a bottle of well deserved Red around 5:30 it is now 8:00pm and I am ready for bed Ha!  things I learned today ...Where else can you get a$300. bottle of wine and watch garbage trucks go by..? Rome...no ours was $25.00 Note to self check pants to make sure ones fly is up before you walk a mile and a half ... LOL!!!  Our front service man at the Hotel had a good laugh when I asked " Are you serving breakfast tomorrow" No he says Ha!
