Trip to Rome, Italy

February 2007

It is difficult to put in words the wonderful experience Cathy and I had in Rome. For someone who loves ancient history, architecture, and great food--this was a dream come true.

I have been to twenty-three countries and I would have to say this is probably one of the top two places I have been.
