All I can say is not all WiFi systems are built the same…

It is nice to be in Rome in July… really! We have enjoyed the heat and the great mix of people that are visiting. The nights are vibrant, people are out having fun. Of course this means the monuments and museums are packed but with a little planning and $ for a private tour we managed to get around the worst of them. Kim set up a tour of the Roman Forum and Flavian Amphitheater with Dark Rome Tours. Our guide Francesca was very knowledgeable and Sydney and her got along well. Kim and I have been to to these locations before but it was nice to have details pointed out that we did not know in the ruins. Also the tour had access to parts of the amphitheater that are hard to visit, the rebuild floor, the underground and the very upper sections. Very nice.

After lunch we visited my favorite building in Rome, the Parthenon. Originally a pagan temple it became a church and because of that is well preserved. An interesting building, it is just the right size to be accessible, impressive but not imposing.
