Welcome to Rome.
2 Short days in this magical city, I saw so much and nothing at the same time! Here is a little bit of my trip, I'm planning on going back in November & stopping in Vatican City.
The top of the dome at The Basilica of St. Mary of the Angels and the Martyrs. They have a great tribute to Galileo. Not a big astronomy buff, but this was my favorite church by far.
The Colosseum & Imperial Rome. We all know about the colosseum and what sorts of things happened here, but to really wrap your head around all of that. Crazy.
The Pantheon, originally built in 27BC, is one of the best preserved of all Roman buildings. Yes, that is a huge "sun roof". The weather was great while I was in Rome, very sunny, felt like summer during the day. Would be pretty awesome to be here when it's raining to see all the water come inside.
Ruins of the Roman Forum. The most celebrated meeting place of the world.
This church was amazing, so many hanging chandeliers. Reminded me of something out of the masquerade scene in Labyrinth.
Some sort of processional. I'm not exactly sure for what, but nice to watch.
!!! I found a little grocery store that stocks international foods. No Sriracha, but I did find some "fine chilie sauce" which I definitely bought.
To be old and in love.
A wonderful view from Villa Borghese.
The Spanish Steps
A beautiful horse. And a pretty little girl, too!
“While stands the Colosseum Rome shall stand;
When falls the Colosseum, Rome shall fall;
And when Rome falls - the World.”
- Lord Byron
Astonishing.
Thanks, Rome.
