My wife and I were still adjusting to the jet lag and woke up early again, though I didn't wake up as early as she did. She was comfortably watching TV in the other wing while I slept.

There were several exhibits halls to choose and we purchased an admission package that got us into the dinosaur exhibit,… Continue reading February 2018: Rome Diary – Day 8
With two days left in Rome we had managed to get through most of the things on our lists. Earlier in the trip we had considered a day trip to see the ruins at Pompei, but as the trip wore on, we felt less inspired by that idea.
