Rome on a sunny day in December. Warm, 60's. Way too much to see
but somehow we got most of it in. Vatican, Forum, Colosseum, Pantheon,
some interesting restaurants and lots of churches and little side streets. There
were quite a few folks out for the tour so at times it was Grand Central Station
at rush hour-especially the Vatican Museum. I read that it's free the last
Sunday of each month-I can't imagine what it must be like.
What I'm going to do with this posting is mix it up between the art, the streets,
the views and the churches. It's going to be mostly visual since I didn't
keep precise records of which of the 20 odd churches a particular photo
was taken. It's obviously a very photogenic place as you will see. Enjoy.

| The Capitol-not too old-about 1910AD-but very grand. |
 |
| The Forum |
 |
| Saint Peter's off in the distance |
 |
| Part of the Vatican-where the Pope can go for safety through an underground tunnel. Formerly a mausoleum for the emperor Hadrian |
 |
| Add to the scooter collection-an original Lambretta |
 |
| The chains that held St. Peter |
 |
| Looks like old Roman road to me |
 |
| Ringo caught in the act-photo hanging in Alfredo's |
 |
| Home of Fettuccine Alfredo-nice place for lunch too. |
 |
| From the top of the Spanish Steps. |
 |
| What can I say...these things are really cool. |
