Day 25 - Rome

Hi everyone! It's our last full day in Rome, tomorrow we head home and boy are we ready to be home! Rome is very, very humid and with all the walking we are exhausted. I hear it was 111 in Tucson yesterday, yikes....that will hurt too!

We were going to have a casual day today and not exhaust ourselves but sometimes things don't always goes as planned. We tried to go to the Hard Rock for breakfast (because our hotel said it was open) only to find ourselves there an hour and a half before it actually opened...argh. We ended up finding little snacks and then decided to go geocaching in the beautiful parks here. We only found one out of three geocaches. For the other two, one was missing from the spot and the other we couldn't get to because they were breaking down from a concert in the park and they had it sectioned off and we couldn't get to it. This was also an area of town where very few Taxi's are....we probably walked over a mile to find a taxi stand.....we thought we'd melt before we found one. We'll, now it was time to head to the Hard Rock and every other American in Rome thought so too! It was packed but we still stayed and ate.

Our last stop was a cat sanctuary located in some ancient roman ruins we had heard about. All stray cats are brought here, spayed and neutered and they live there forever or until someone adopts them. Some live inside but most roam the ancient ruins and are free to come and go. All are fat because they know who feeds them! Kinzi took a few pictures.







We are heading home tomorrow so this will be my last post in Europe! I'm sure I'll have Scruffy stories....we miss that little guy!
