Again front of the very long line for us. Also I mentioned some fellow travelers from day 1, well we are really getting to know each other and starting to form bonds. I wasn’t a solo traveler very long.
Pics from the Colisuem. This place is unbelievable. What the Romans built with the tools they had is just so impressive. They are trying to preserve it for future generations and are having problems figuring how the Romans built it.
(if you notice the red strap around me that was a radio, with an ear piece, so we could hear the tour guides as we walked through sites, didn't have to be on top of each other to hear, very nice way to tour)
The forum from the upper floors of the Coliseum
After the Coliseum, it was either back to the hotel or an optional trip to the catacombs and St Paul’s Basilica.
No pics in the catacombs either, but I can tell you it was very interesting to see how they buried the dead back then. You tell where a child was laid, the slots in the wall were so tiny. Some of the families that had money and more elaborate “crypts”. The tour was very interesting and yes it even had a dump shop at the end.
After the catacombs we went to St Paul’s. It is believed to be his remains buried in the Basilica. It was very beautiful, they know how to build churches here. And there are a lot of them. In Rome there are over 900!
On the way back to the hotel we drove past this pyramid. The majority of the pyramid is underground. Only this tiny bit is exposed. Shows the influence the Egyptions had on the Romans, or at least Cleopatra’s influence.
Dinner tonight was an optional and included a drive through what used to be the Borghese estate, dinner at Fellini’s favorite restaurant, a walk past the Spanish Steps and the Trevi fountain.
After driving through the estate, we were dropped off to walk a short distance to the restaurant.
The square you are in has 4 churches (one being the first the church where the 1st cardinal was left in Angels and Demons) and these twin churches. The restaurant is just to the left of the twins.
After dinner we walked a short distance to the Spanish Steps
Fountain at bottom of steps
We also walked by where Bernini lived
Then the Trevi fountain, which is the façade of a building much larger than you realize. The building was once a upon a time a palace, nowadays an office building.
While we were there a couple of my new friends and I got gelato to eat on the way back to the bus. I loved the gelato!!!
My crew only had less than 100 questionnaires left, so I informed my supervisor that when it came time to start laying off crew leaders, I will gladly take the bullet. I know, I'm just too nice. 
Adorable picture of Reid!
Checks will be in the mail first thing Monday. Thanks again
Way to take one for the team
It really is amazing as we're such a small club and we don't have as low handicaps as others and as I said before they've won it before 
I'm sorry but Norman is just funny. 
Looks like he's had the freaking flu.
