We don’t have much time but want to see everything.  Is that all there is?” To really visit and know Rome takes more than a few hours, days, months or even years.  I stand to sound cliché but Rome truly wasn’t built in one day.  In fact, it’s several eras of history sandwiched together, and every day I find something I haven’t seen before or knew existed.  It’s impossible to see even a fraction.  But what is feasible is to immerse yourself in Roman culture, classical to modern, so that you come out soaked with history.  And hopefully, some of it will be retained…</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/93C67CDC-FED4-4863-815D-90CEE1F99A93/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
