Rome photos

Finally back at the computer to add some photos from both Rome and Florence. Rome visit way too short, but enough to get a sense of its size and history. The Angeltours group was the best: Vatican and St. Peter's on Monday afternoon, then the Forum and Colosseum Tuesday AM. Walked, walked, walked to St. John Lateran. Been in more churches than I want to admit - building and financing them seems like its own industry. Some things never change!
Rome serendipity Monday for dinner at Oscars Wine Ristorante - slow food meal with olive oil tasting and fresh local veggies. Sorry didn't have my camera with.
Tuesday evening took a taxi to Piazza Narona to find that the fountain is surrounded by scaffolding. Alas, Rome apparently is still under construction.
