Rome MMVI - Prelude

We had a long weekend and decided to spend it in Rome. There is a low-cost airline that flies out of the Basel airport (EuroAirport) and goes to many popular destinations. The flight to Rome was about 1 ½ hrs and once there, we enjoyed getting to know the city. Italy has much different views on rules, punctuality, and litter control than is evident in Switzerland, but after understanding and accepting these differences we were able to go with the flow. Here’s a great web-site that has a lot of information about all of the sites we visited.
