When in Rome...
Sorry for the long layoff from blogging! I was experiencing Rome to the fullest. What an unbelievable city! I have always liked to study history, but I have always been limited to seeing the sights in the United States.
You can be walking down the street in Rome amongst shops and restaraunts and then you turn the corner and there is a 2000 yr old building or a statue that I had studied in art history class.
Unlike Treviso, we stayed in the heart of downtown Rome. We just walked out of the hotel and started our tour on Friday. On our hike we visited the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, the Forum, and the Colessium. I took a few hundred pictures throughout the day. We played Lommatica Roma that night and won by 7. It looked like it was our first game of the year!
On Saturday we had an off day and we went on a tour of the Vatican grounds, including the private gardens of the Pope and St. Peters Basilica. I took the advice of a good friend and put the camera down, stood in the middle of the church, and just let the experience soak in. These past two days have included the best sightseeing of my life!
We are now in Koln (Cologne) Germany and about to leave for our game vs the 76ers. Hopefully in the next blog in can talk about some great contests with Philly and either CSKA Moskow or Maccabi Tel Aviv. Then, as Amare always says, "Lets get on the big bird and head back to the desert!"
