From Venice we took the train heading to Rome arrving @ night & were almost denied our room b/c I didn't have my passport; luckily I was able to provide my police report-whew!!! Ironically we got a room that had an American flag flying outside our window...that was unique! If not for these ugly Texans dinner would have been superb. During one of her many conversations this older lady flung her arm out & almost hit Michael in the eye & she didn't say excuse me or nothing. If you could only see my face - I was about to let her have it. Thank goodness for the delicious food otherwise I would have sock that lady in the eye - an eye for an eye lol. The next morning was partially spent at the US Embassy for my temporary passport which cost me $100. We then toured the Palatine Hill making our way to the Colossem. The next day was by foot looking for the Trevi Fountain, Navona Square, & the Spanish Steps before we head out to Munich to catch the opening of Okterberfest with the Herters, another TI family living in the Philippines. This has been a great adventure! I can hardly wait for Germany, Switzerland & our final destination...PARIS!!!
