Roma! (part uno)

We started our exciting Roma field trip at 6 am....We watched Gladiator in Italian, and made our first stop at Tarquinia where we saw underground Etruscan frescoed tombs! Then to the centro di Tarquinia for lunch and a visit to the Etruscan museum...

Our next stop was Cerveteri, a huge necropolis that we were able to explore for a few hours. It was amazingly peaceful and beautiful...


After frolicking in flower fields and exploring dark cavernous tombs, we hopped on the bus and continued onto Roma! We had a lovely dinner (which Laura and I almost missed due to sleeping) at our very nice hotel. After dinner we got gelato!
