Meet Our Friend Pinnochio













We decided to take a horse carriage ride to give our legs a break. The name of the horse is Pinnochio! He's so obedient and the boys love him. He's 15 years old and does tours 3x's a week. The carriage ride lasted for two hours. This gave us time to actually tour each historic location. Our first stop was the Pantheon. It was built in the year 118. Its the best preserved ancient building in Rome. The Pantheon was orginally built as a temple then later converted into a church. Our next stop was the Spainsh steps. It was such a "happening" spot with lots of people. There were guys all around trying to sell roses, lasers and toys. We had such a great time just sitting on the steps and people watching. The weather was perfect. This area had the finest stores. On the way to the steps we passed quite a few fruit trees. Unfortunately, I couldn't reach 'em from the carriage. I was so tempted but knew that I would fall.
