On Sunday, we woke up to head to the airport to catch the flight back to Madrid. I look at the email ticket and see that we have a six hour layover in Rome. We run around the airport figuring out the best transportation options to get us to the city center and where to stow our luggage while we explore Rome.
Within the three hours that we are in the city center, we managed to see the Circus Maximus, the Coliseum, the Pantheon (We saw the Parthenon the previous day in Athens.), the Trevi Fountains, the Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II (the big white building with columns), the Rome Terminal, and countless other wanderings through photographic streets. We didn’t make it to the Vatican though… It was a bit farther over, and I don’t want to get involved in a Da Vinci Code-style scandal.
At the beginning of the day, I had no idea that I would be running around exploring Rome and then ending the night in Madrid.

| Tom at the Trevi Fountains. The last time we were both in Rome was the summer of 2006 during the World Cup. We might have been in Rome at the same time before we knew each other. |

| The Pantheon. The girl in the white shirt and dark shorts to the left is about to do some really cheesy poses on the big balls on the ground. We cringed as she did some weird tourist poses. |
