Woke early and went down to the hotel dining room and had our free breakfast of cappuccino and rolls. We then took the Metro to Via Veneto to pickup our rental car. I had mixed feelings about driving in Rome, but I was glad we wouldn’t have to depend on public transportation anymore. We had reserved a Fiat Panda, but they didn’t have one. So, they upgraded us to a bright red Peugeot. We left the car rental office at around 12 noon and remarkably made it back to the hotel without a problem. We then decided to take a drive towards the coast and see how far we could get. We made it as far as the port of Anzio which was a very picturesque fishing town. We found a small store where we bought some crackers and cheese and had a little picnic. We then left Anzio around 4 PM and made it back to the hotel around 6:30 PM. After resting a bit, we decided to go out for dinner to a restaurant I knew near the F.A.O building. I had the bucatini amatriciana, Carol had ravioli, and we both shared some antipasto and a half liter of vino bianco
