Day 19 - Rome

We made it to Rome and to our motorhome stopover very quickly! If we thought yesterday's campervan parking lot was weird though, today’s was much weirder. It was the closest to the city center we could get, and much more affordable than big campsites, and since we figured we wouldn’t spend a lot of time there, we thought we’d give it a try for at least one night. The man running the place was very nice and we could tell would be attentive to everyone who was coming and going. Feeling safe, we parked and got ready to head to the center of the city! 

We started our tour of Rome by getting some quick pizza and doing one of the walks recommended in the Rick Steves Italy guidebook. We strolled through open markets, plazas with stunning fountains, and into churches open to the public. This walk took us to some of the most famous sites, including the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and the boy’s favorite - The Pantheon. 

We got lots of gelato along our walk. And took tons of pictures. I didn’t know how far we would make it but we ended up walking the whole walk before stopping to have dinner in a beautiful plaza next to a big church with beautiful bells!
