2nd Saturday in Rome







Today was a big day out in Ostia Antica, the ancient Roman Port. It was huge - filled with temples, warehouses, baths and theatres. We soon got forum feet and necropolis knees! There were some beautiful mosiac floors with a marine theme and a statue that gave us ideas. See Hugh is on this trip after all. He had a fun time bird-watching and saw a zitting cisticola which made him happy.

We got into the area for free as this week it is Rome's 2,762 nd birthday and it is culture week where all museums are free - good timing for us really. We spent the rest of the day resting, reading and eating yummy gorgonzola cheese with red wine. No need for dinner really. Ciao!

Oh my God!!! Hughsie kissing on the web!!! WOW - i am afraid of what Rome and all this fun will do to him!

Go girl, love the blog, am as jealous of hell of all the wandering, churches, wine & yummy food. Keep it up - we are living vicariously through you. Just don't let Hugh invite too many people to come to the lab!

Love K2
