Rome Highlights

We have had a whirlwind two days.  Yesterday was the Vatican - museum,
Sistine Chapel, and St. Peters Cathedral.  Then we went across the Tiber to eat and see the Pantheon with some lovely churches.  In thehe evening we photographed night scenes of Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps.

Today we took lots of photos of the Coliseum  and drew in the Forum and Palatine HIlls.  After lunch we went to the Borghese Gallery.  The Bernini sculptures took our breath away!  Tonight we will dine near the hotel and get ready for Siena, and Tuscany.  We are staying on a farm in Volterra where we shall feast on local food, slowly savoring the experience of eating the amazing food.  Internet access might be spotty...Ciao for now!
