Our Last Day in Rome

These are some of the photos from our last day in Rome. This is a fountain I took from the open top bus. I don’t know the name but that is supposed to be Moses.

This is of course the Trevi fountain where everyone throws in a coin and makes a wish or something like that. They say that people throw in $3500 of coins each day.

This is inside the Vatican museum. We walled down miles of halls with ceilings like this before getting to the Sistine Chapel. Then, no pictures allowed in there.

More art work on the walls at the Vatican.

Looking down the exit stairs on our way out. Yes, that’s Connie and Cheryl half way down.

Now I’m looking back up the same stairway.

The churches in Rome are to numerous to be able to tell you which ones your looking at here. They all have very long names too.

There is obviously no shortage of pillars here.  I think maybe this is the birthplace of the pillar or at least they made them stylish.

What else but the ceiling in yet another church.

This is inside the Pantheon.

This is the front of the Pantheon but unfortunately many of the iconic places that we wanted to photograph were being repaired.

Yep, we ran across another cool church or Basilica as they’re called. Our Italian guide pronounced it Bazilica.

It never hurts to have the moon hanging around for you shots.
