Day 10 & 11 - Rome

Cyril and I loved Rome! It is so full of history and there is so much to see. We saw mostly what we planned but we would have needed to be there for weeks to see everything. Each day was spent in the extreme heat, walking endlessly on cobblestone streets from one crowded site to the next and we loved every minute of it! Our legs and feet were so sore by the end of the day but it was truly worth it.
One of our favorite parts was getting to try so much amazing Italian food. Pizza, pasta and gelato...YUM! It was nice to be at a restaurant with no kids and actually be able to enjoy the food.
We also really enjoyed the Colosseum which was massive. We both couldn't help thinking of the movie Gladiator and imagining being there during the shows and fights that took place there.
It feels so surreal that just a month ago Cyril and I were walking the streets of Athens, Sicily, Ephesus, Crete, Ostia, and Rome. We are so blessed to have travelled to Europe to see so many amazing historical sites together. We have so many memories that will last a lifetime.
Thank you to my wonderful husband who planned such a FABULOUS trip for our 10 year anniversary. It was more than I had imagined! I love you so much!
