Buongiorno da Roma

Good Morning from Rome!  After our overnight flight from the US, we landed about 9:40am local time.  After getting our passport stamped and collecting our luggage, we met our driver who drove us directly to our home for the next five nights -- Hotel Raffaello.  We drove right past the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Roman Forum -- only an hour into our visit and we're seeing thousands of years of history.

Italy is known for its HOT summers.  The weather forecast for the next few days looks very promising -- highs in the low 80s and down in the 60s at night.  The high today is right at 80.  Let's hope the good fortune continues.

Our first order of business is purchasing our Roma Pass which allows us free entry to our first two sites as well as unlimited use of the subway and buses.  Off to explore!
