Roma!

What can anyone say about Rome?  Full of captivating history, it is a feast for the senses.  Much of it is pleasant, some of it is not.  The photographs in this post show the beauty and grandeur of Rome, but don't accurately reflect the intense humidity, heat, noise, chaos, less than appealing odors, and the stress of maneuvering two families with three little boys aged 6-8 through it all safely for three days.

But alas!  It is Rome.  And I am fortunate to have been able to go.

Nice photos!
I visited Rome many, many, years ago.
I loved the history, but hated the city. : )

I do love Rome but far more in the spring than in the summer that's for sure. You took some great photos with your big girl camera. Can't wait to see more!

Hehehe, the statue's fig leaf still had the outline of a penis.......
The photos looked wonderful but found your description of the weather interesting. Didn't think it would be like that there :o/
