Rome Pictures

Rome reminded me a lot of Paris with all it's history, large, ornate buildings and many museums. It was also very expensive to visit the museums and historic sites. The coloseum alone cost us each $18. On Sunday, we did have an opportunity to see the Pope give mass at St. Peter's Basilica but chose not to after seeing thousands of people filing in. That and we figured it would be given in Italian and last about 2 hours with the number of people who'd revieve mass. So we were able to sit outside and watch a short segment on the 'jumbo trons' they had. Most of our time here was spent touring the Coloseum, Pantheon, Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel. One night we did venture out to the train station and found a bar with fooseball tables which we took advantage of. It was a nice change from the regular routine of playing cards or writing in our journals before heading to bed.
