Well, landed about 9:30 am, as you know our bags didn’t make it because of our tight connection (but no ones did from the lax flight). Got a taxi to our hotel, which we think was piloted by Mario Andretti’s grandpa! got checked in,and went to get sim cards for the phones so that’s squared away, we’re connected again. yay.

WOW, its beautiful here! Old buildings, churches, and Roman ruins around every corner.. amazing fountains and plazas.. I promise to post more pics later today!!

Sightseeing was cut short,cause Shawn wasn’t feeling well, so we went back to the room. Apparently he hadn’t watched the movie Airplane! in a while… Never eat the fish on a plane! here’s a refresher for you all

Got him settled with meds and liquids, and set off for some shopping! The airlines allotted us $250 to buy essentials and clothes, and I was determined to spend it! Shawn now owns a suave italian outfit, including Giorgio Armani boxers.. lol. After shopping i stopped for a few pints at Scholars Lounge Irish Pub, before returning to the room for some sleep.

Now it’s a new day, and we’re getting ready to head out to see the sights, and will post pics later! Thanks for checking in, and stay tuned.

Below pic is the fountain in Piazza Navona, just stunning and the pic doesn’t do justice. Nope, not sure who that chick is, she jumped in to my shot at the last second, so now she gets internet-shamed on my blog. 😉

Euro-Shawn strutting his new clothes/shoes, and ready to see the sights.
