Unification Day



Imagine our pleasure when we discovered that all sites and museums were free on our first day in Rome. We spent it primarily in the Roman Forum and the Imperial foraa. Kids sold umbrellas like crazy in the morning as we ducked intermittent showers. Then they pushed sunglasses in the afternoon. We ate lunch in Restaurant Ulvia looking over Trajan's column. We ate there back in 1995 on our first European trip After Kids. Buildings have been really spiffed up since then. And, much more stuff is being excavated. I know much more about what I'm looking at, so I'm enjoying the sites more. Here is a pic of the damp and the crowds in the forum and a view from our table at lunch.
