 An ugly picture, says mommy, but it's the first of Rome, so too bad. We were on the shuttle from the airpot driving into Rome. Our first taste of Roman driving... there was much worse to come...
|
 I love this car... it's so SMART! In case you were wondering, this is a Mercedes version of a golf cart. |
 One of our most beautiful pictures of Rome. This is the wedding cake, built in honor of King Victor Emanuel (I think), one of the heros of Italian Unification.
|
 Outside the cake...
|
 Our first nightshot pic!
|
 Still in front of the wedding cake, looking out. Mussolini used to live in an apartment overlooking the square we're in.
|
 First meal in Rome! This is a salad shop... they sell salad and some pasta too. |

|
 Streetside cafe are extraordinarily popular in Europe... this one belongs to the salad shop.
|
 A famous plaza. according to christina's diary, it's called the "courtyard/plaza." =P |
 ah, the Pantheon. Look! another streetside cafe... a pretty damn nice place to get some coffee if you ask me. |
 Cool, shaky hands. Big columns at the Pantheon eh? |
 We couldn't get in, so here we are in front of it on its big front porch.
|
 WOW |
 haha, cool. Here we go, the first of the infamous self portraits. Inside an elevator here... don't worry, there's plenty more where this came from. |
 hi christina! |
 There's a huge line that forms every morning outside the Vatican wall. We woke up at 5:45 to avoid the crowds!!!! |
 Into the vatican we go! |
