Roaming in Rome

After a sea day and a day at Palma, we disembarked the ship and flew to Rome. Josh here:
Here are some of the highlights that we found in our three days of Rome
* exploring the streets and finding gelato shops. We had a LOT of gelato.
* Walking through the bone church and discovering all the decorating choices for bones. There were chandeliers, chairs, window frames and a coffin all made of bones. There were also dead bodies, some still standing in their clothes.
* going on a ghost tour through Rome at night with true stories of happenings around Rome.
* When I come home, expect me to try and sell you stuff. I have picked up the techniques of the many Indian salespeople who sold useless items all over Rome.
* going to the Rome Hard Rock Cafe. This was the third Hard Rock we ate at on the trip.
*Guess what- I finally found a pizza I would eat: a pizza entirely covered with Nutella!
* In Piazza Navona there was a cowboy statue with a money can in front of it. When you put money in the can, he moved. Later that day we saw the same cowboy moving, not because there was a coin in his can but because he wanted a cigarette. There was also a dodgy statue of liberty with white clothing and silver skin.
