My in-laws Paul and Helen and my niece Megan spent nine wonderful days with us. We enjoy traveling with them -- they are easygoing and don't mind me bossing them around while playing tour guide :) We crammed so much site seeing in I could barely keep up with my journaling. Here are some photo highlights from the past 10 days around Rome:
 |
The Colosseum (Colosseo), the iconic Roman site.
Riley helped our fantastic tour guide fill in the gaps of 2,000 years of historical context.

 |
| Four laborers, enjoying their pizza on a Roman wall :) |
 |
| Learning to "read" Roman art. For example, whenever you see a sculpture of a man with a beard sitting/lying in this position, the sculpture represents a river. You then use the other objects in the sculpture to interpret which river is being depicted. |
 |
| Gelato, of course! And my niece, Megan :) |
 |
| The gems of the Vatican Museums. |
 |
| Hard-working street vendors. |
 |
| The incredible work of Bernini's Four Rivers Fountain in Piazza Navona. |
 |
| Miniature-sized vehicles of all kinds :) |
Ciao!
