The Colosseum (at 114 degrees)Well, I guess there really is only one thing to say about Rome, and that is that it was extremely HOT!!!!, and humid. I mean swamp ass hot before you even walk out of the termini. I'm not gonna lie, it was much more pleasant in March, but how can you complain about that, you're in Europe on holiday. While the Durham/Willoughby clan did the Vatican tour, Melissa and I just had a few hours to explore, so we grabbed some paninis and enjoyed them in St. Peter's square while watching the world go by. Afterwards, we went to go into the basicllica but Melissa was apparently too sexy for Pope Benedicts taste so we had to buy a scarf to cover up her shoulders.

SUPER HOT DINNER - and not just because I'm there!We eventually met up with the other three later on at the hotel to have a night out on the town. After stops at the Spanish steps (and the rose con artists; you'll have to ask the girls about them) and pantheon, we had a pretty pleasant dinner except for the hot exhaust blowing on Mandy and I, so after we moved tables, dinner was that much more enjoyable. After dinner (and great Chianti) we did one of my favorite places in all the world, the Trevi Fountain at night. Nothing better than enjoying gelato (and more Chianti) while people watching at one of the most beautiful fountains in the world (bernini is a genius).
Assuring our trip back to Rome - Maybe!That was enough for one day as the heat pretty much drained us all, but overall, a great day in Rome.
