I left for the airport around 7 AM and took the train to the Fiumicino Airport. The train ride took about 45 minutes and I arrived around 8 AM. Carols’ plane wasn’t supposed to arrive until 8:30 AM. So, I decided to get a cappuccino. Carol finally arrived around 9 AM and we took the train back to the Ostiense station. Since the walk to the Hotel San Anselmo wasn’t far, and I didn’t feel like negotiating with taxi drivers, we walked to the hotel (me carrying the bags, etc.). After Carol got settled, we went to a local restaurant where we got a cappuccino and a very tasty eggplant antipasto dish. From there we took the metro to the Vatican where Carol got her first look at Saint Peters Basilica. We then walked to Piazza Navona and got drinks at Tre Scalini while sitting outside. Carol’s feet were bothering her (new shoes). So, we took a bus back to the Hotel San Anselmo. Back at the hotel, we both decided we were hungry for “munchy” food. So, I walked down to the local market and bought some cheese, crackers, and drinks which ended up being our Thanksgiving dinner
