It must be true because I've been to Rome, not once, but twice in my lifetime.
Just in case, I threw a coin in the second time too. Because I would love to go back again...and again...and again.
The second time in Italy was in many ways more special than the first. This time around, I knew how very special the opportunity was.
The first time, I was a 16-year old traveling with my family.This time around I experienced it with my daughter.
The first time it took us forever to find the Trevi Fountain. This time, we took two busses and then followed the clearly marked signs straight to our destination.
This time around I was in charge, instead of going along for the ride. We did many of the same things we did the the first time which included the Vatican and the Colosseum which has to be one of my favorite sights in Rome.
I remember being surprised that we could walk around as we did at the Colosseum back in '78. 34 years later, I was happily surprised that we were still allowed to roam around as we did back then, this time with self-guided tour headsets if we were willing to pay a few extra dollars.
The first time around, we had almost 50-pictures of our trip to Rome. This time I had over 50-pictures of the Colosseum alone.
Last time we spent three nights in Italy. This time we spent three nights in Italy. It was not enough time in either case. Rome wasn't built in a day. There is too much to reasonably see in three.
