ATW-2 Day 27: Rome, Italy

Posted by on November 8, 2025
Strolling by the Colosseum

Our penultimate (love that word!) day in Europe was low-key. We wandered the city for a while but otherwise just chilled in our room. And played cards which, of course, Marlene won, 2-1.

Our meandering route took us up the hill behind the hotel where there were some Roman ruins, past the skate park and the basketball game near the Colosseum, then down past the Colosseum. We were in search of a thrift store. Along the way we saw a condom vending machine – not something you see in the US. We found a thrift store and Marlene found a dress that she liked (I didn’t, but my opinion on fashion carries little weight). Then back to the hotel, getting gelato along the way. We had our usual bread-and-cheese dinner, with cold cuts. Yum.

Then I blogged.
