The streets and sidewalks are very narrow Gene, Trish & Bonnie |
 |
There are a lot of Church’s around Rome |
 |
And statues |
 |
| The Colosseum, or the Coliseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre, is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire. It is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering |
 |
The very popular Trevi Fountain. It is the largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world. |
 |
| The Arch of Constantine, it is the latest of the existing triumphal arches in Rome |
 |
| Another fountain in Rome |
 |
| Bonnie & Gene checking out the walking map to determine where we will head next. |
 |
| The water is very good from the fountain. We would fill our water bottles after taking a long cool drink. |
 |
Piazza Navona, built in 1st century AD |

Even the priest enjoy a gelato on a hot day in the Piazza |

Stairs to the Sistine Chapel. We made it there, but you weren’t allowed to take pictures. It was smaller than I imagined. However, the paintings by Michelangelo were unbelievable. |
 |
The staircase back down was awesome |
 |
| Here is Gene and I outside the Vatican. The Pope gave a sermon there earlier in the day. |
