After all that walking/touring you deserve some fries! They look yummy

 

[franandaj]

I'm with you on the French Fries. Naked, just a little salt. Let the true flavors come through.

More beautiful pictures, Scott. I have to say just about anyone (well except for McDonald's maybe) puts Five Guys and Nathan's fries to shame...not a fan of either one of them.

You don't like 5 guys fries????? Oh Kathy Kathy Kathy! They are awesome! I am not much of a frie fan these days anymore but love the 5 guys. McDonalds make me gag anymore though.

Thank you. I love both of them, LOL. McDonalds too. LOL.

That's so European.....having chips/fries with sauce on it. I think I may have chosen the Cocktail.

I am guessing that you went shopping.

Day 9.1

Sorry for the long delay but lets get this rolling again.

A new day had dawned and we were ready to do whatever. basically we all went our separate ways. Vinny, Me and Jeff were going to do the bus tour around Rome. Barbara & Lorraine were going shopping. Mark and Donna were venturing off somewhere. Of course I can only report on our adventures.

First we did have breakfast together. They offered a buffet breakfast downstairs and we filled up our plates and brought upstairs to the balcony. Here was my plate.

Of course some OJ was needed.

This is when our day started really for us.

We had to walk over by the train station which wasn’t too bad. I saw this along the way.

We were there.

Soon enough we were on the bus and ready to go. Jeff sat next to me but had to move because the earphone plug was not working and he couldn’t hear the descriptions. I can tell you right now I have no idea what we saw anymore so this will be mainly photos.

Moving along.

Our bus was full.

Passing the building by our hotel.

I think I will stop here. Sorry for less descriptions but I hope you enjoy the tour of the city from atop of a bus as we go along.

Up next,

More from the bus.

Scott, I love the view from the bus and the pics without the descriptions! It's all good my friend!!

 

[PrincessInOz]

Looks like you're in for a fun day from the top of the bus!

Our bus tour continued.

I love palm trees.

Another view.

Sorry again for lack of words.

Up next,

More of the tour.

 

[pas130]

Palm trees ROCK, and now you live by lots

 

[franandaj]

I never knew Italy had Palm Trees! The buildings are beautiful!

 

[PrincessInOz]

Seems like the bus tour covered a bit of ground in Rome.

 

[scottny]

Day 9.3

We are still going along on the tour. I loved the trees.

More buildings.

This was nice being in NYC you see mostly sneakers hanging from them.

Selfie. Jeff and Vinny behind me.

Looks like a tunnel without a roof.

The Coliseum.

The work that was being done then.

Arch of Constantine.

I love the trees.

I think I will stop here for now.

Up next,

The tour continues.

 

[PrincessInOz]

You really make me want to go back to Europe!

 

[jenseib]

Your selfie cracks me up because all the people behind are trying to get in the picture too

 

[MEK]

I love this picture. It's really cool!

I'm glad to see you are still working on your Europe report. It must means you are really settling into your Florida live!

The open air bus tour looks so fun and, I'm with you - fries with just salt please!

 

[franandaj]

Nice pictures of the Coliseum and the other buildings!
