ROME

The overlook from the dome of St. Peter's Basilica.  Great view of Rome on a drizzly winter day.  
Laocoon. 1st century AD. 
The Trevi Fountain.  Apparently there is a guy who for many years would collect all the money from the fountain.  More than 100,000 Euro a year!  I did not see him though.
My bella!
In front of the Pantheon, still open after 1800 years.  We are actually looking at a Mac Donald's in front of us?  It was closed.  Darn!
Borghese Park
Expensive cappuccino!!  Location will cost you sometimes.
Old Roman ruins of . . . go to Rome yourself and figure it out? I forget.
Oculus.
I always wanted to see the Colosseum since I was a kid and learned of the Roman 'games'.  What a marvel of architecture and vicious history!

Looks like the perfect time to visit! Not so hot, not very crowded. Hope you had an awesome time.
