Navigating Rome was quite comical, given that little motor scooters would pop out from the narrowest roadway and even walkway without warning! We did a lot of exploring... the Roman ruins, Mamertime prison, Trivi fountain, gelato tasting, Colloseum, Pantheon, Spanish steps, Piazza Navona, Sistene Chapel, Vatican City, more gelato tasting... Needless to say, the camera wore itself out in Rome! One of John's favorite things to do was heckle the men who would pass out roses to women on the street, expecting the respective husband/boyfriend to pay a large sum of euros for the roses. Upon several occassions, I would be aggressively handed roses, and when the "flower-guy" turned to John for payment, John would just start repeating "Grazi" over and over again, with a huge grin on his face, pretending not to understand English! Some thought it was funny while others ripped the flowers out of my hands in order to find a willing customer.
