I got lost in Rome

Woke up this morning to "tour" a little of Rome. I pretty much got lost. Had my little map out every two blocks to find my way and I eventually did find my way and saw a lot of amazing sites along the way. The small streets are so thin, made of mostly cobble stone. Most of the cars here are the little Smart Cars or other new types and look just about the same. Every once in a while you see a horse drawn buggy stoll by. I had breakfast at the little piazza next to the Pantheon. Great people watching, even that early. The Rotary event last night was very formal. We met some great people who spoke great English. They had guest speakers discussing the role of women in religion. One representative was Muslim, one was Jewish and the other was Catholic. It was hard to keep up, but we had a few translators helping. We were up pretty late and had a rough time towards the end of the program. The driving here is quite an experience!! Almost saw a fight between two Italian Drivers. We just found out our bus tour was cancled today due to weather?? It's beautiful outside. Looking forward to a fun day.
