This past week-end I went to Rome. The flight was one hour, so it was very convenient. One tip about hotels in Rome: they only accept cash. Or at least mine did. In a tour, I walked around the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and the Coliseum. There was a small protest was going on to the point one guy climbed into the second set of arches to yell at the police. Security is very interesting if a guy can do that. The tour guide talked about the history and the temples and that in the beginning there was a sewer that is still in use. For lunch, I had pizza with bacon. Don't order bacon; it's not cooked to American standards: crispy. Bacon looks raw, but it is edible. A nice family let me eat with them since I was on the tour alone and everyone else had family to eat with. After the Coliseum, I walked to the Trevi Fountain, which was not under reconstruction as of a few weeks ago. Some of my friends here said they have to go back because they visited during the reconstruction. I walked back to my hotel after that; it took me an hour. My feet were killing me afterwards.
