Rome, Italy

The first 3 days of the adventure takes us to Rome, Italy. The only thing we know we definitely want to do is rent scooters and drive around like maniacs.  Perhaps we need to read and follow the recently issued Driver's Ten Commandments by the Vatican.

The "Drivers'€™ Ten Commandments," are:

1. You shall not kill.

2. The road shall be for you a means of communion between people and not of mortal harm.

3. Courtesy, uprightness and prudence will help you deal with unforeseen events.

4. Be charitable and help your neighbor in need, especially victims of accidents.

5. Cars shall not be for you an expression of power and domination, and an occasion of sin.

6. Charitably convince the young and not so young not to drive when they are not in a fitting condition to do so.

7. Support the families of accident victims.

8. Bring guilty motorists and their victims together, at the appropriate time, so that they can undergo the liberating experience of forgiveness.

9. On the road, protect the more vulnerable party.

10. Feel responsible toward others.

While researching things to do in Rome I came across this list:

"Vatican, Roman Forum, Colosseum, Pantheon, Basilica di San Pietro and St Peter's Square, Sistine Chapel, Piazza Navona, Capitoline Hill, Trastevere, Tarpeian Rock, Catacombs, Spanish Steps, Piazza di Spagna, Keats-Shelley Memorial House, Palazzo Venezia, Church of San Marco, Vittorio Emanuele Monument, Piazza Sant'Iganzio, Stadium of Domitian, Palazzo Altemps, Piazza Campo de'Fiori, Jewish Ghetto and Synagogue, Temple of Portunus, Temple of Hercules Vistor, Arch of Janus, Ponte Rotto, Ponte Fabricio, River Tiber, Isola Tiberina, Capuchin Cemetery, Via Veneto, Trevi Fountain, Forum of Trajan, Palatine Hill, San Clemente, Esquiline Hill."
