New Yorkers Do Rome

So last night we were tired and went up to the hotel roof top to see the city lights and have wine. We met a family from New York (with accent and all) who were hilarious. They were like "we went to the Trevi fountain - it was like the one in Las Vegas an the Venetian - only smaller" - they were part serious, part joking. But with the New York accent, it was hysterical. They told stories about getting groped on the bus and train, and hearing people scream and running to their aid (well one did - the others told her to stop - I'm sure it was quite a scene to see). It was a really relaxed evening.

We slept about 12 hours - until our friends Bill and Tenon arrived and called from the hotel lobby . Had a bite of breakfast with them until their room was ready.

We both still feel like we're getting acclimated. We've been here 24 hours and have done to sightseeing....but have really relaxed. Which is kinda the point! We're going to do some exploring this evening once Bill and Tenon have a nap and a shower and then tomorrow we're off to a wine/art/countryside tour.
