Wanderlust Wednesday. **Missing post from 4/6/11 found**

Well, today April 19, 2011 I discovered what happened to my "missing" post.  Yours truly scheduled the "post" date as 4/6/2001.  Yes, and I just happened to find it tonight.  Anyhow, here is another version of April 6th, 2011 post.  Enjoy!

Pack your bags.  We are headed to Rome.  And we are going to the Vittoriano Monument. 

On Sunday morning I emailed this tweet to Bernie: 

@TravelDesigned: RT @ARoadRetraveled The area on top of the Vittoriano. 7Euros for the elevator ticket for best panoramic view of Rome http://twitpic.com/4gmmlm

{via @ARoadRetraveled}
And he responds via email with:  Can we have dinner inside the horse??

You see during our 5-days in Rome we did not once go inside this building or on top of it to see the wonderful view.  Every morning we waited to the very right of the entrance to hop on our double-decker bus.  We had no idea about this view.  None whatsoever.  Well, we do now.  Unfortunately, when you travel to a foreign country and you do a ton of research it simply just isn't possible to see everything in one trip.  It just isn't.  So, that means it is even more reason for us to go back.

And a side note about the "horse" we would like to have dinner in it but, somehow I don't think its possible.  And PB&J's would suffice with bottled water.  We just want to say that we've been in it and had dinner.  Too funny, I know.  But, it would be cool wouldn't it be?  Bern and I think so.

Here's a pictures we took of the Vittoriano Monument.  For a little history about this monument click here.
It was raining this morning and cold.
Another day...and it was sunny and windy.
We were a little cold can't you tell? 
And we were also prepared for rain, hence the rain coat.
Hope you enjoyed our trip to Rome. 
I know I did.  And I can't wait until this Thanksgiving when I head to Venice.
