We are looking in the rear view mirror as we drive on to Tuscany. We’ve had a glorious three days as tourists seeing the sights of Rome. As first time visitors to the city we hit all of the must-see hotspots while our tandem cases remained in storage at the airport.

Roger tells me I must provide more words, so I’ll tell you that Rome is a fantastic, very crowded tourist mecca. Evidently, every recent college graduate from the United States is here with her mother. If you can withstand the harassment of the “entrepreneurs” selling selfie sticks, charging cables, bracelets, and plastic trinkets, you may be able to soak in some of the history and marvel at the sights like we did.

I feel a photo essay coming on, please enjoy our pics of Rome.

In case you were wondering, we will be changing locations every Saturday for the next 6 weeks or so. We will try to post at least once a week.

Up next: cycling with tandem friends out of a villa in Arezzo.

The weather forecast looks grim.
