We made our way across the boot back to Rome and made a stop in Tivoli. We walked through Villa D’Este, the expansive home of a former wealthy Roman Catholic cardinal. The gardens are now considered a UNESCO heritage site because all of the elaborate garden fountains operate with the force of gravity, no pumps are used. This is impressive today but was very impressive in the 16th century when it was designed.
I’ve had my last spritz. Wes had his last taste of Italian meats. We are tucked into our airport hotel ready to make our long flight back home. What a trip!
