ROME

This is what was right outside of our hotel:  The Pantheon

Trevi fountain:



The Collosium:




Caesar was killed:

Roman Forum:





Bath made out of marble from Nero's garden



We gained a new appreciation for the amazing sculptures created by Michelangelo.  The Peita is the only sculpture signed by him (1499).  It is inside St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City.


Outside the Vatican:


A few evenings, after a long day of sight seeing, we would sit out on the rooftop of our hotel and watch the sunset, watch the happening in the piazza down below and play cards.
