Around Rome

Here  are some general pictures from our wanderings around Rome.

Here is a church which was originally a Roman temple.  You can see the re-use plainly from the side where an ancient temple became a Catholic Church.

Here is picture from inside the Pantheon. Formerly a temple to many Roman gods and now a shrine to our Lady and the Martyrs.

This is the (in)famous Trevi Fountain - splashpoint for various starlets.

Dr D'Amico has been teaching Shari how to do extractions over the course of our trip.  Here Shari demonstrates the D'Amico technique on a stone (but frightened none the less) Muse.

The Roman Forum.

Constantine's Arch.

Obligatory picture of your humble narrator contemplating going on the Scaresdale Diet upon return to States with the lovely Mrs. smiling her approval.

Julius Caesar's funeral pyre. Obviously,  guilty members of the Brutus family continue to put fresh flowers on the spot.

The Colosseum.

Inside the Colosseum.

Finally, an exchange between between Tony and our 75 year old taxi driver.
