* WPG2 CANNOT LOCATE GALLERY2 ITEM ID 3523 *Tonight is my last night in Rome. And last night in Italy. I’ve probably walked 100 miles, and trained it at least 500. My legs are a little worse for the wear, but at least I’m not putting on pounds from the pasta and the gelato. Oh my the gelato! I’ve had enough pizza now, and broken down to hit the McDonald’s a couple times for some comfort food.

* WPG2 CANNOT LOCATE GALLERY2 ITEM ID 3527 *Rome by far has been the most interesting. I celebrated Christmas with the Pope, in 60 languages. I sat and had lunch in the shadow of the Pantheon. I watched cats play among ancient ruins. I’ve even done laundry and had Indian food in this, the Eternal City. It has been a fantastic trip, so far. And there’s more to come!

Sights on the list:

• Colosseo
• Pantheon
• Basilica of St. Pietro, Vatican City
• Sistine Chapel, Vatican City
• Musei , Vatican City
• Castel Sant’ Angelo
• Piazza del Popolo

…and too many other piazza’s and other buildings to list. The only key absence is the Forum and Palatine Hills. Those will have to wait for the return trip.
