Last Day in Rome

Well we flew out of Venice back to Rome for the last time. It was nice to be back in Rome since we had become quite accostomed to it over the course of the trip. So it was nice to be in a familiar place when we were really tired and preparing to leave.

But none the less, we still had items on our agenda for us to see before we left. The main one was Capitol Hill. On our previous trips we had passed it by, but never actually went into it or spent a lot of time looking at it. So we took a specific trip to go directly to Capitol Hill and walked all around and inside of it. By this time on our trip we were rather tired of site seeing, so we didn't spend too much time there.

Capitol Hill

The rest of the day and evening we spent revisiting our favorite Rome sites. We walked to the Pantheon, past the Trevi Fountain, stared at the Colosseum and the Roman Forum from Capitol hill, visited our favorite Plazas and just enjoyed the city. That evening we had our last italian meal in a back alley italian resturant. The food was delicious and it was nice to find a back alley away from all the tourist attractions.

Before turning in for the night, we had one last gaze at the Pantheon while we had dessert in a cafe nearby. It was a beautiful evening with a full moon and the Pantheon glowing in the back ground. I definitely miss this part of Italy.

The Pantheon...such an incredible structure!
