ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.

I am Nancy Ward. I'm traveling alone, but put I'd take a roommate. I'm now in Tucson, AZ where I do a lot of hiking with Southern Arizona Hiking Club. These are on the C level (a lot of times slow C although I can hike a bit faster). I spend mid-November to mid-May in Tucson and mid-May till mid-November in Fairhope, Alabama (on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay. I'm just taking this program; not any before or after trips.

My good friend and traveling companion, Jane Reyling, and I will be in Rome for the three days prior to the beginning of this hiking/walking tour. While I have been to Rome before not too many years ago, she has not, so we will spend one day visiting the Vatican, and another day visiting the Colosseum and the nearby Palatine sites. We will be staying at the Welrome Hotel near the Termini train station (9/18-20). I can be reached by email at ggomes@csuchico.edu

My wife and I will enjoy the rural Italian experience of this trip. To supplement, we will have two full days in Rome before our Road Scholar trip begins. We spent 2 1/2 months in Rome in 1968. Anybody else going to be in Rome Sept. 18 to 21?

My husband and I are doing the Digital Photography in Italy-Amalfi Coast ending Sept. 19 in Naples. We plan to take the train from Naples to Rome and will be spending 2 nights at the Hotel Aberdeen before meeting up with this group at the airport on the 21st. Maybe it would be possible to met for a meal.

Your digital photography sounds awesome! Sharing a meal in Rome sounds nice, but could be difficult to coordinate, since we will not have a phone in our rentedd apartment. But you might find a mesage from us at the Aberdeen. And then we'll for sure get to know you in Pienza!

Glenn Gomes has recommended a couple of restaurants in the Termini train station area: Trattoria Del'OMO, Via Vicenza,18, al Centro Storico di Roma and Mamma Angela's, Via Palestro 53. I think we will try one of these on our last night in Rome. We could set a time and a restaurant for who ever can make it.

How about 6:30 PM on Thursday, Sept. 20 at Trattoria Del'OMO, Via Vicenza,18, al Centro Storico di Roma. "The “Trattoria Dell'OMO” is a picturesque little establishment snuggled between the Termini Station and Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore". We are looking forward to meeting you.
