Unfortunately for us, 30-OCT-2008, the day we visited Rome, was a national day of protest. People were in the streets everywhere you went so the taxis couldn't move around the city, the subways were packed, and it seemed impossible to get from one place to another. Because of that and our limited time in the city, we were unable to see many of the historical sights we wanted to see. This photo shows the street filled with protesters.
