"Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity..." --John Muir, 1898

Day 12: To Rome!

Another long day of traveling, retracing our steps back through Naples and then on to Rome. We dropped our weary bodies off at Casa per Ferie Santa Maria alle Fornaci dei Padri Trinitari. Yes, that was the full name of our convent/hotel. It was a comfortable little room with breakfast in the mornings, which was a rare thing for the places we had been staying. We couldn't wait to go romping around Rome so we decided to go out that evening and see what we could see. It wasn't long before it was dark, but we had fun nonetheless. I took a few after-dark photos, but the only one worth showing is of the glorious Pantheon. When you turn the corner and see this massive structure staring you in the face, it's quite a feeling.
