Pictures from this date & location

- Circus Maximus fulfills its designated purpose on a sunny day -- open space for walking.
- The ruins visible from the CM's walking path suggest what's on the other side.
- We somehow navigated away from the main gate and found ourselves on the outside -- walking again.
- Caged on the outside, searching for a way in.
- Finally, a glimpse of ancient Rome.
- This is what we're talkin' about -- the classics.
- The throngs of tourists don't detract from this section of ancient Rome.
- The imagination runs away with thoughts of who might have trod these steps centuries ago.
- Palatine Hill and the ancient sites are a short stroll up this well-worn path from the Colosseum.
- And still they come.
- Even centurions need a mid-day snack.
- Nearly alone on the Colosseum metro platform -- only because the train just pulled out.
- Lennie pauses on our way to lunch at resto that bears the name of this fountain at the Via Veneto.
- Two happy lunch people -- second time around.
- Lennie with the lady of the house on Via Sistina near Piazza Barberini. You won't be sorry.
