Second day in Rome. We had a lite breakfast in our hotel consisting of toast, a chocolate biscuit thing, and some tea. We walked down to the bike tour meeting place, and got our our bikes and helmets. The bike tour took us all around the heart of Rome. Some of the things we saw on the tour include Trajen's column, the colosseum, the circus Maximus, the mouth of truth, the Pantheon, and the Trevi fountain. It was fun, but a workout! The sun was out and we were sweating!
After finishing the tour we enjoyed some more gelato, (raspberry and lemon this time) and walked back to the Trevi fountain. Rome has these fresh water spicketts all around the city, that constantly pour water. We refilled the water bottles at one near the fountain, and headed to the Spanish steps. It's a little hike, but we went all the way to the church at the top of the steps, and back down after catching our breath. We headed back to our b&b to take an afternoon nap, as we were still getting used to time difference.
After waking up we headed back to Piazza Navonna for a pasta dinner. Anna had bacon and tomato sauce with ziti and I had good ol' spaghetti and meatballs. Everything was awesome and was in perfect portions. Anna enjoyed a cafe latte, and we went shopping for souvenirs in the Piazza square. we headed back to the room, chatted on Skype with family, and used the hotel wifi to plan out the meeting place for the next day.
