The last day in Rome was one to take in slowly, explore some back streets and shop. Hopping on bus #64 from the Termini Station, we rode through the streets with the Romans on their way to work. At our stop we poured out of the bus with the mad rush and began our day. Along the way we visited the Pantheon, home of a Catholic Church but once a mighty temple dedicated to the Roman gods. It features a large dome and oculus to let in the sunlight. The weather finally warmed up and allowed us to soak in some sun, eat a gelato and people watch. Walking the streets to the Column of Trajan, we wanted to take in as much as possible on our last day without rushing too much and missing the rhythm of the city.
Finally, we walked one last time past the Colosseum and rode back to the hotel in order to freshen up before dinner on the town.
Wake up call at 4:00am and our flight out at 7:30am from Rome. Enjoy the last pictures of the trip!
Note to parents: If all things proceed smoothly, we will be landing in Boston sometime around 1:25 pm on Saturday. Given the bus schedule out of Concord Trailways in Portland, we will not be in Bangor until 10:30 pm. If you wish to pick up your kids in Portland you may. Our kids will be calling you when we are in Boston to let you know our status.
