We're off to Europe!

Our flights were smooth and uneventful—long but everyone did well! The long layover in Frankfurt allowed us time to stretch our legs, get something to eat, and for Andrea and me to buy things we forgot to pack (pads/tampons and tennis shoes respectively). After claiming our luggage at Fiumcino, Romeinlimo was there to take us into Roma. After checking in and settling into the hotel, we headed out for dinner at Rotonda Ristorante and gelati (the first of many gelati stops over the next four weeks).

We made a quick visit to Fontana di Trevi in the evening before turning in.
