Roma Pictures

Here are some pictures from Roma. They are neither in order nor complete. However, I would like to post some different pictures before I finish these. Enjoy!

The trees here are very tropical.

Neat little ruins. I do not know what they were but they looked awesome in the sun.

Some modern art on the Colosseo grounds. There was some scattered about the city. It was very neat to see new and old together everywhere.

The Arco di Costantino

Cute little pigeon!

Me and gelato outside the Colosseo

The boy from Afganistan

The altar inside the Pantheon

Me and my sunburned face at Mercati Traianei.

The most amazing carved pillar! There was so much detail. There were 3, I think, scattered around the city.

The open circle. Apparently one day a year they throw roses down from it. It's nine metre's in diameter, I believe.

View from the Pantheon

Raphael's Tomb.

Pantheon

When you could not speak against the church, they allowed people to speak openly at this statue. They would give speeches and things against the Catholic Church. Today people still post papers and hang poems and other documents bashing the institution.

The slowest and worst way to travel in Roma! They cars zoomed passed and I thought the horsed would be hit many times. Later in the evening, there was an animal rights group protesting the use of these carriages.

A fountain with naked little boys prancing around. The German boy said it was for a Pope with similar interests.

One of the apartment buildings that apparently are very cheap, cause back in the day they made a rent cap on the apartments and it still holds. Landlords are just waiting for the people inside to die so they can rent to new people with about 100 times the price.

I thought this was very interesting. The wall the billboard is on is just a print of the wall it is covering.

Inside a Piazza that had an information station the German boy wanted to stop at. He said all of these items were places in the walls to show how rich a family was. This family was very rich.

Full Frontal of the Monumente a Vottorio Emanuele II. Flags and all.

Classiest looking McDonald's. Also, Wtf. Gross.

Colosseo! I sat outside here for about an hour with my prospective husband. I was very tired and it was really interesting to watch people go in and out and around. There were some models doing a photoshoot in front of it, and once a troop of people dressed as cats went by.

The cute house I am going to buy and live in and raise cats.

All of the people at the Fontana Di Trevi. I think there were more people here than anywhere else I went in Roma. I took a picture for a couple from England and threw a Canadian penny in, just to make sure I'd get back some day.

My German tour guide and a foot that used to belong to a wonderful statue of Heracles, I believe.

A pretty epic view of one of the statues on the Monumente a Vottorio Emanuele II.

Pillars holding nothing but history.

A closeup of what may have been part of a wall, a pillar, a door. Either way, if even the wreckage of a place is beautiful, then there is a good chance that this place must have been wonderful in its glory days before the German's came.

My feet, ready for walking.

A tree! I liked that there was more to Roma than ruins and churches. There was plant life, too.

An example of the tour groups that were around

My first stop! (These pictures are very out of order)
