Another recommendation from one of Reed's local business associates was to explore Appia Antica. You know the saying, "All roads lead to Rome?" Now we can say; been there, done that! We rented bikes, picked up picnic supplies at a local bakery and headed out for an adventure. 22 miles, 3 crashes (all G), an aqueduct and some catacombs later we were exhausted, happy explorers.

| A 22km bike and still plenty of energy to go around. Welcome to the complete futility that is my life :) |
Honestly, this was one of our favorite activities of the entire trip. It was a great way to see a lot of Roman history, removed from the craziness that is Rome. Although I never imagined touring the Roman countryside on a bike (I LOVE bikes), it was a fantastic was to get out some energy and enjoy a beautiful day in Rome.
