Rome

We landed in Rome yesterday and checked into our lovely hotel, the Westin. It's in a wonderful are. On put on our walking shoes and out we went to explore. Saw many wonderful sights and had pizza for lunch! Freshened up and went to the top of the Hotel Eden for cocktails. Great views. Walked around this wonderful city and enjoyed a dinner in a little cafe. We split an Argula salad and some Spaghetti Pomodore.
We crashed and slept about 10 hours. Up at 8:30 for a brisk walk around the Borghese Gardens. We don't stay too long in any one place so off we went to the train station for our trip to Venice.
I am in love with Venice!!! Debbie, our travel expert got us a room we could almost afford at the Hotel Cipriani. I don't think I can leave.....
We enjoyed a cocktail at the pool and really wanted to see George Clooney! They even have a drink named after him but no such luck. Took the cute little teak boat to san Marco Piazza and walked around the designer shops, good thing they were closed for the evening. We happened upon a little cafe and enjoyed a delicious dinner and a whole bottle of Pinot Grigio. We sat next to a cute family who had been traveling all over the world for 3 months. They are keeping a blog too...www.circleplanetearth.com. They are at the end of their journey.
It's almost 1 am so I think I'll call it a night. Maybe tomorrow I can figure how to post photos from my iPad!
