We arrived in Rome yesterday afternoon after a long and sleepless 8 hour flight from Toronto. We caught the train into Rome center then a metro to our apartment. We are 5 minutes walking distance from the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain and 20 minutes walking distance from everything else (Vatican, Colliseum etc.) and across the street from the metro. We couldn't have picked a better central location. Our apartment is older but clean (more on it in a later post).
After quickly settling in we started walking around just to see what is in our neighborhood. We have decided that you could stay weeks in Rome since every single building and street are architectural wonders. Almost everything that you look at it is incredibly beautiful.
We were pretty tired after a night with no sleep so we took a city bus tour that lasted about 2 hours and gave us a good overview of the city and what things we most want to do since we have 4 days here.
Today we are up and heading to the grocery store for a few things then we will go to the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica this afternoon.

PS. We have SLOW internet connection in our apartment so we will wait to post pics with our next blog when we can go to the internet cafe.
It sounds wonderful. I can't wait to see the pictures!
