Eternal City: Introduction

I know I’ve been off the blog for a while. It’s not an easy thing to do when you’re in Rome. Let me give you a rundown of where Joyce and I have been.

Thursday: St. Peter’s Basilica and square; walk along the Tiber; walk by the bars along shore; browsed the flea market; rode the carousel; took night pics of Piazza San Pietro.

Friday: Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel; siesta; walk to Castel Santangelo, then across the bridge to Piazza Navona where we had dinner on the square and enjoyed three different seranades; back to Castel Santangelo to look around the bastion.

Saturday: Piazza Del Popolo; Borghese Gardens; Spanish Steps; Trevi Fountain; Pantheon, Basilica San Andrea Della Valle; Memorial of Emmanuel Vittorio; Exterior walk of the Roman Forum and the Colesseo.

Sunday: Mass at San Andrea Della Valle; Ancient Roman Forum, lunch at 4 p.m.!, il Colosseo, some random pyramid, Basilica di San Paolo.

We’ve seen a lot in the last three days, and I’m going to blog mainly about isolated experiences and reflections.
