When in Rome . . .

Here it is . . . THE Colosseum. I opted for the audio guide, which was a great choice.

Here I am sitting on the Spanish steps. Last night we saw a free classical concert here.
Trevi Fountain.
I really am happy to be at the Vatican. Really.

Well, I've had 48 hours in Rome, and I've hit all the major things on my list. Yesterday we saw the Colosseum, forum, Spanish steps, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon, Caravagio works, an out door classical concert and lots of other things. Today was also a really busyIn between my breakfast of croissants, lunch of lasagne, gelatto #1, pasta dinner and gelatto #2 for dessert I managed to tour the Vatican, including St. Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel and take public transportation out to some catacombs. There was no cistern, but it made me feel at home to be underground again.
