Bonjouno from Rome -

Frank and I arrived yesterday after an uneventful flight from Washington. Room wasn't ready so we headed over to the Campo di Fiori to the saturday market and some cappucino - didn't sleep much on the plane. Wandered around and by the time we got back around 12:30 our room was ready. Tried to nap, didn't work, but we rested, then headed back over the Campo di Fiori for a little pizza and walking around- Joanna we walked right by the little restaurant you took the tour group on B2B to fo lunch. Came back, showered and had some wine on our little terrace, then headed out for some walking and dineer, a great little place recommended by the hotel, Pierluigi, great dinner and wine, and lots of nice people to chat with. Finally dropped into bed around 11 and slept soundly until 8 this morning.

Had some breakfast and headed out to walk around the Jewish ghetto area, then across the river to Trastavere where we wandered around somemore. Our hotel is the Ponte Sisto, right at the Ponte Sisto bridge and across from Trastavere. Back at the hotel taking a break, we will go back to the Jewish ghetto for some lunch in awhile. Tonight we again have reservations at a place recommended by the hotel. Tomorrw is the Sistine Chapel and later we will meet Andrea, Russ and Susan for dinner.

Kristin - give your friends our name and we will try to hunt them down, in fact if you want try to email them our room number 1002 and tell them to give us a call and we will meet up for drinks.

More later. Ciao!
