Side Trip 1#

Today we are visiting Roma, or more commonly know as Rome. I am traveling there by train, which is the common transportation mode here for short distances. Though there are 2 main airports here, trains are cheaper. The people are like Florence's population, but are more busy. With a higher population density and more business-oriented, instead of Florence's agriculture-oriented culture, Romans are faster-paced and more lively. Tourism is a big part of the economy because of such things as The Roman Coliseum, Tiberius' Arch, and The Great Forum. Rome is renown around the globe for beauty and was the center of the Roman Empire.
