SPQR

Ah, Rome, the Eternal city… We arrived mid-day on Tuesday, and it’s been non-stop pretty much since then! To keep things brief, here are the highlights of our visit, in rough chronological order: Campo de’Fiori, Piazza Navona, Pantheon (at night), Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, Palatine Hill, Roman Forum, Capitoline Hill, Vittorio Emanuele II Monument, Pantheon (by day), Trastevere, Piazza del Popolo, Via del Corso, Ponte and Castel San Angelo, the Vatican Museum (incl. Sistine Chapel!), St Peter’s Basilica, the Spanish Steps, Museo Nationale, Santa Maria Della Vittoria (for Bernini’s St Theresa in Ecstasy), and the Borghese Gardens. Whew! It’s quite warm, and we come home with tired feet every day, but we’ve been eating well and drinking well, and sampling some very fine gelato across the city. And tomorrow, we begin our adventures in Tuscany! So for now, ciao e buona sera!

  1. Wow! How HUGE those ancient places are! And they made those structures without trucks and cranes. Amazing. Have sun under the Tuscan sun!
