Arrived in Rome after a smooth flight and easy connection in Paris. At our hotel, the airport Hilton, we were delayed for a bit checking in as the lobby was packed with boisterous, stylish Italians all checking in for some group event. Deciding to take a couple of hours to freshen up, we all went to our respective rooms and passed out. It had been a very long day.
Today was supposed to be the quick trip downtown to eat gelato on the steps of the pantheon and walk to the Jewish ghetto, but the weather was iffy and the free hotel shuttle wasn’t going thataway for a few days. Instead we took the shuttle into another part of town and walked around quiet, non-touristy neighborhoods until we found a sandwidh and, at last, gelato.
Before checking out of the Hilton we ate the best breakfast ever — green beans, sausage, bacon, potatoes, eggs, yogurt, fruit, grapefruit juice, cappuccino. Yummy!
Then, we flew on El Al from Rome to Tel Aviv. More on today later, so here are pictures of us and our gelato:
