Rome we have Arrived …

What a Drive.  We were fine til about 10 minutes from our destination.  In that time We went down train tracks the wrong way and then went into a bus station the wrong way which was explictiedly noted by one bus driver using hand signals.  In the end we stopped and asked a policeman how to get to the car drop off sight.  He was very nice and really gave good directions … Sort of … We followed his directions and proceeded to get lost again.  Not sure how but we did locate the europcar drop location.  Dropped off the car and then caught a cab to Campo di Fiorra.  The drive with the taxi cab driver taught bunny that I really wasn’t that bad of a driver.  28 euros later we arrived at our destination.  We were early so we grabbed the table at a restaurant closest to the door of our place.  A bottle of Cianti and 3 bruschettes later Allen shows up to take us to our room.  What a view.  Here is a video of what’s happening right outside our window at 8 pm at night.  It is a spectacular view with lots happening in the square just below our apartment.
