Day 43 - March 7th 2009 Rome, Italy

Today was tourista day for the LdM folks. We cruised over to the Roman forum, palatine hill, and coliseum to be “gapers” with our cameras. Ryan and I were also the only men in Rome wearing shorts, even though it was probably 65 degrees and sunny. Warning: start of another Italian culture rant by Chris. Alright so here’s my observation from today: NOBODY in Rome pays attention to what the weather is ACTUALLY doing. I walked out the door in shorts and a windbreaker and was rather hot all day. Everyone else around me? Wearing full overcoats with scarves! Man did we get some looks, couldn’t have looked more foreigner American.
