Roman Folly Day

Lois and Tim recreate sceen from movie

June 4, 2008 – Rome, Italy

Our guide helped us learn everything we needed to know to get about on our own. So, with the few days we had before flying home we felt entirely comfortable in striking out on our own.

 

Tim: Hey Lois, I bet we have watched the romantic comedy movie Roman Holiday a dozen times. Don't you think we had great fun recreating some shots from the movie?

Lois: Yes we did. But you used some of your photo magic here. I don't remember riding scooters. We really did find the exact spot of several movie scenes though.

 

 

 

Tim: The princess and I headed out to find the Mouth of Truth, known locally as the Bocca della Verità.

Lois: No lie!

 

 

 

 

 

Lois: We then walked over to the Ponte Sant' Angelo. Were we too early or too late? There was no dance boat down on the Tiber.

 

 

 

 

Tim: Princess Lois enjoyed her anonymity while sunning on the Spanish Steps.

 

 

 

 

Now, we really didn’t scoot around on Vespas like Joe and Anya, but we did have fun that day.
