The Colosseum tickets were good for
the Forum and Palatino with a time of 24 hours to use. But first we were
pleased to see that we could have breakfast at the hotel. Even though this
establishment was a small concern, they had a nice assortment of possibilities.
We met the woman who took care of that, and I suspect, cleaned our rooms as
well. I was pleased to get some of my protein in the meal. Because I am a not
meat eater I had a bit of a hard time finding things that would fill that protein
requirement. Even though the egg was not as cooked as I like I gratefully ate
it along with some yogurt.
After breakfast we sent Leroy into the
bowels of the metro to figure out just where to get the tickets. He came back
with a report so we all headed on down as we could not find the place our hotel
guy had told us we could get tickets. Even though I had been getting a bit
concerned by the time Leroy came back, I should have know that he would have learned
many details such as the direction to go once we had the tickets. Leroy likes
to get it all in order so that there are no surprises.
I had not known much about the Forum
and nothing about Palatino. I learned a lot, but I am hesitant to say that I will
remember it. Certainly I can see the places in my mind. We were fortunate that
the rain stopped during the times that we were outside. Or it was a manageable rain
with raincoats and umbrellas. Our friendly hotel woman even gave the people who
had not brought umbrellas, some that had been left at the establishment. What a
kind heart!
We were all grateful for the gift of
the metro right outside our door. It was so nice that we hardly even got wet at
the entrance.
