--The goal of the day was to make it to the Orange Garden in Rome, a recommendation by none other than my wonderful Italian Angie. After getting quite lost, becoming soaked in the falling snow and sleet, and finally finding the garden, we came to a roadblock. The garden was closed because it was snowing. I am still not sure why you would lock up a garden if it was snowing, but I was very bummed out.

As the day and walking continued, Greg and I were getting more and more drenched by the sleet, and the umbrella wasn’t helping out in the fight against the wind. The sights were beautiful as they were covered in some snow, but our wet and frozen feet were a bit angry. We were able to see the Colosseum, ruins, and grabbed some coffee to warm us up.

In the evening, we ventured up via Corso, visiting the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, and the Capital. I will let Greg’s photographs do a lot of the talking, as they have better words than I.
