He Wants to Go to Rome

Posted by girlie on November 21, 2007

Lately my husband has been discussing with his parents his desire to visit Rome. He was probably encouraged by the beautiful stories he hears about Rome from his good friend, a priest.   He was actually invited by this friend of his when he goes to Rome early next year.  This friend promised to give him a tour of the Vatican.  Knowing my husband who is very much into history, he’d grab every opportunity to visit this place.  And he was even mentioning of visiting places like Italy, Venice and Milan.  He wants to see the places he only reads about or seen on television, like Cathedral of Milan, Leonardo da Vinci Museum, and Castello Sforzesco in Milan. He’s also interested to see The Colosseum, the Vatican, and Trevi Fountain in Rome. He says while in Venice, he wants to visit Piazza San Marco and St. Mark’s Basilica and maybe take the Gondola Ride. Who wouldn’t want to see all these places. How I wish I can go with him, but if not, I’ll just enjoy the photographs he’ll take. Meanwhile, if plans push through, I need to find hotels in Italy,  hotels in Rome, hotels in Venice  and  hotels in Milan where he could stay. I’ve already seen the rates, and it’s pretty affordable.
