Sunday, May 4 - Rome

Today we stayed in the bed until nearly 10:0. It was great! We didn't have anything scheduled until 3:00, the Borghese gallery. I wanted to see The Mouth of Truth so we headed in that direction. ON the way we did some shopping. I got a necklace for me and a bracelet for Grace. Then we found a wedding gift for Dana. Troy took that back to the hotel and I waited for him.l Then we were back on the road for The Mouth of Truth. They had a bit of a wiat there but it wasn't too bad. There was a man sitting there making ocarina's and we bought two for the kids. We didn't lose our hands in the mouth so that was good. :-) By the time we were finished there, we needed to truck it over to teh Borghese. We started out walking but it was just too far. We found a taxi by "the Wedding Cake" and that was much better. The Borghese was like a really big park, very pretty, and the gallery part was in the villa. We had the audio guides for this tour. My favorite piece was the sculpture of Apollo and Daphne. After the Borghese we walked back towards the way the taxi had brought us because we had seen a Hard Rock Cafe on the way. We found it and yay for some American food, lol! We have been disappointed to find Italian food pretty bland, but we're from the New Orleans area and are used to food with some kick to it. We had good spicy hot wings and they were great. We each got a shirt there and then headed back to the Spanish Steps to hang out for the night.
