Do as the Roman's

We spent 5 days in Rome. We used Flip Key for the first time for our accommodations and were very happy with the place and the service. The place had a kitchen, washer and was in a great location. Would definitely stay here again!

Adam enjoying some afternoon expresso. It was really hot when we were in Rome so it was nice to have a little apartment to come back to everyday.
Going to Rome was Adam's top place to visit and it didn't disappoint! Most recently living in Charleston, one of the oldest cities in America with lots of history. It was very interesting to visit sights in Rome and realize just how new America is compared to Europe. Checking out sights and learning about history all the way back to B.C. was amazing.

Enjoyed lots of walks along the Tiber River


 We stayed pretty close to Castel Sant Angelo 
 Toured Vatican City and St. Peter's Basilica


 



 




I think past these guards is where the pope lives.

In front of Trevi Fountain
The Pantheon is on of the best-preserved ancient buildings in the world, at 2,000 years old. The only light comes from the center of the dome. 




Rome by night...
Adam had me take a picture in front of some flowers. I was complaining mentioning that there was no flowers to be seen around Rome, well just not that many...
