It is hard to describe the feeling of walking through the ancient streets of Rome and seeing some of the most famous historical sites in the world. My sister Judy and I were fortunate to experience this on out trip to Europe in June.
Our hotel was near one of the best of them all - the magnificent Colosseum.
From the Colosseum it is a short stroll to the Roman Forum. It is hard to believe that Caesar once walked here and addressed his people.
The Pantheon is tucked away amongst the back alleys.
Trevi Fountain and The Spanish Stairs are two more of Rome's landmarks
Rome is also home to The Vatican and the enormous Basilica of St. Peter. This first blog of our European adventure finishes with some pictures inside and outside St. Peter's.
Glad you have returned to your blog. Rome brings back memories of my time there in 1996 and in 2002. It is an amazing city with so much history. Great pictures John.
