Arrivederci Roma!

The 8broadsabroad split up today. Well just for a few hours. We really do still like each other! Four of us went shopping and four of us took a city bus tour.

The bus tour was really fun. We went around the city a couple of times and took even more pictures. It was interesting to see the city from a higher vantage point. Also it was nice to not have to worry about tripping while walking around the city. Somebody did fall today and it was not me. Do not worry, she is fine, I'm thinking there will be a bruise or two, but she bounced right back up to continued on with the day.

We have decided that you do not need to take a drivers test in Rome. They just hand you your license and tell you good luck. I have never seen such crazy driving, especially by the people riding the scooters. How our bus driver did not run over numerous people today is truly nothing less than a miracle.

I hope you enjoy these random shots of Rome.

The other four spent the day wandering the shops of Rome. We did all we could to bolster the economy of Italy while we were here. Lets just say we believe we are going home with at least 65 new scarves and 35 purses. Yes, we were quite successful. As far as I know there were no injuries other than to the amount of money they are going home with tomorrow.

We went out for our last dinner in Rome tonight. As usual the food was good, but the company was better. There may have been some shenanigans taking place along the way.

The time has gone by so very fast, It seems as though we have only just gotten here. I will admit, there may have been some very funny things said and done while on this trip. There has definitely not been a shortage of laughter. I thought I would share a few of those lines with you today. Some are funnier if you know the context surrounding them, but again, there are some things that are just meant for the 8broadsabroad.

"I can do three things really well. I can sing, I can dance and I can sing like an angel."

"Why isn't there any Italian sausage in Italy?"

"Second verse, same as the first."

"Giovani looks like my silver fox husband in 20 years."

"I can not believe all these little kids know how to speak Italian"

"Alligator Arms"

"As an only child I am so happy that you are all my sisters" <insert tears here>

"Am I Greek or am I Roman"

"Why do we not have plates for our bread?"

"One size does not fit all!"

"It's true, Italian wine does not give you a hangover."

"Buckle up, it's time to drive like an Italian!"

"Mi Chiamo, Stephania"

"Dance Party!

With that we all head home tomorrow to our families and friends. We hope you all have enjoyed our little adventure.

Ciao!
