When the Moon Hits Your Eye...

Started today with seeing the Pope at the Vatican...two hours in the sun! Talk about a sunburn! We made our way across the Tiber River in search of the Pantheon...found some gelato first! Mmmmmm....bacio (chocolate hazelnut for me and tiramisu for Bruce). We stumbled across the Piazza Navona, an artist's paradise and were woo'ed into a pizzeria for lunch...I had margherita pizza and Bruce had pizza al funghi. We totally could have shared one - lesson for next time! With full tummies and my head bubbling with beer we made our way to the Pantheon - so many people!!! Learned how to shoot on manual as it was dark and light inside, very impressive! Here's a photo of the Colosseum from yesterday.

We decided to just walk after that and we stumbled across an Italian Communist Party rally...we stayed to take a few shots and then decided it'd probably be wise to move on! From there we just walked and walked some more and lo an behold, came across the Spanish steps on a sunny day! Could not believe how many people were there on a sunny day!!! We wound our way through the Roman streets and found the Hotel Madison, which we're staying at at the end of our trip, right across from the train station! Just got back to the room and took off my necklace and realized I got a sunburn around it too! I'm so smart, brilliant in fact! Off to dinner shortly and then tomorrow it's Florence!
