Saturday November 14. 1992 – Rome, Italy
Woke up at about 8 AM and went down for a cappuccino and rolls. It was a beautiful day, probably the sunniest yet but a little cool. I wrote some postcards and decided to take them to the Vatican to mail. I also wanted to do some shopping in the Via Condotti area for gifts to take home. Tried to visit the Castel Sant’Angelo but discovered it closed at 12 Noon on Saturdays. Went to the train station at the Rome Train Termini to check prices to Florence. It appeared it would cost between 22,000-30,000 Lire for a second-class ticket to Florence. Had lunch at McDonalds of all places just to see how their hamburgers compared to U.S. Surprisingly, they tasted the same. A Big Mac cost 4,500 Lire, and ketchup cost 300 Lire per packet. The place was packed with kids and appeared to be a regular hang out for young kids.
