Rome and home

We left Montepulciano and Tuscany by bus and train, expecting a downpour that never happened, and a difficult trip that never happened either.
We saw some of the things we expected to see in Rome, like the Colosseum, and unexpected things also. The first picture is of a stuffed deep fried zucchini flower, one of several culinary treats here, the second, snow on the mountains behind Rome. That's taken from our hotel window, a little too far out from the centre for Hannelore's tastes! The third is a nice picture of the Tivere, (sounds a bit like Tiber, doesn't it?), with St Peters in the background, and you all know the fourth.
So, on the plane this afternoon, the whole thing is over again, see you all soon.
