Roma!

Mom looking fresh and rested after many hours of travel.
Waiting for the train wishing Mom had not pcked so much luggage.

Our first sighting of an old dead guy on a horse
Obelisk in front of the presidential palace

On the way to Trevi
Lovely warm sunny day our first day in Rome


Fontana di Trevi

Nice parasol

Looked like the logo for the Messenger for all you Boro folks out there
Obelisk in Piazza Colonna
Obelisk in front of the Palazzo Chigi

Hot Roman priest calendar. Dont worry ladies I got one for the office.

Mama and the bouganvillas

The Pantheon
View of the obelisk in front of the Pantheon

Pantheon occulous
Mom and Gigi in the Pantheon



Obelisk in Piazza Navona. Either its the only thing I took pictures of or Romans are fans of obelisks.

Dome in Saint Agnes
Sightseeing break for cocktails and beers at the Abbey pub

Loving the Abbey. Teresa says Hi! to Giles and Morgan btw.

Fontana di Jesus Puking
A shot of the French Embassy for Norbert

Fiume Tevere

Another stop for drinks. Walking makes you very thirsty for wine!


Smokey or Guido followed us to Rome
So did Martini!


Monumento a Vittorio Emmanuele II aka wedding cake


Colosseo at dusk

Funny name for a club
Fresh fish
Decided to have pizza instead

Near the Roman Forum
Sitting on old stuff
Roman Forum

Piles of old stuff

Scary knight guy on the Vittorio Emanuele monument
Stairs up to the Moses church You can make it to the top, I believe in you!
Totally worth the stairs. Moses with horns by Michelangelo
Creepy Pope tomb in the Moses church
Dead guy on a horse in Campidoglio

Could not tell if this Italian on the roof was going to hit on us or pee on us
