This is part of the fourth section of our around the
world trip.
Complete Trip Overview & Map
Coming from Italy
10/11/98 Into San Marino, that 61 sq. km country, the world's
oldest republic, sitting atop a 600 metre high mountain, surrounded by Italy,
prints its own money and stamps and has its own army and exists almost only
for tourists. Worth a couple of hours of our time to walk around the old
walled city and admire the mountain top view before heading straight to Rome
to finalize things for our November 15 flight home.
