Italy, Rome and Siena
Facilities Manager presented me with a mighty gift for my birthday this year. On a cold January night he handed me two tickets to Egypt. Oh. My. Gawd. For real? After a long, chilling day working at the nursery, hot and sandy Egypt sounded fabulous. We love history, after all, as well as travel. For me, the more ancient the history the better. But. After digging a little more it turns out that for such a trip a guide is highly recommended. We don't really do guided vacations and the cost of hiring guides became prohibitive. What then? FM chose Italy instead. Italy sounds lovely. We could easily do that without a guide. Off then for a two-week anniversary celebration in Rome and Siena. ROMA Rome is a big city, yes, but oh my gosh it's fabulous. I had been years before and the vibrant memories had me wanting to return. For this trip, however, we hadn't really realized until after the tickets were purchased that #1 it was nearly Holy Week in the center of Catholicism on earth...
