when in rome

Recommended Posts

We passed mount stromboli last night the valcano was very active was neat watching lava being shot hundreds of feet into the air, too dark for any good pics. all i got on my camera is a red blob on a black background.

Seeing your pic of St. Peters, if you have any interest at all in history, I recommend the new book Bascilica by R.A. Scotti... an oustanding book on the building of St. Peters. It's not at all dry or boring. Reads like a novel, full of scoundrel Popes, villianous yet brilliant artists and the one and only beautiful, eternal city of Rome.

Thanks....B|


We loved the whole time there so much that we've gotten numerous books and rented documentaries ect. on the history and culture of the place.

We'll be going back this winter for a couple of weeks and the spousal unit even wants to move there for a year!:)

oh, the pantheon! love it! raphael is interred there. i attend a mass that was celebrated there in 1999, during which it was raining outside... a column of rain descended along w/ daylight straight down through the oculus to the marble floor, making a loud splashing sound.

the dome of the pantheon is an architectual masterpiece.

i'd love to move there too, but the romans of today often drive me crazy! the city moves SO SLOWLY in some ways, ye they drive 10x worse than the asshats in Los Angeles!

Still where else in the world can you go and see such incredible history and works of art. And for me, it's the center of my faith... no place besides Jerusalem is so important.

I think it's time for another trip!!!

The Pantheon...I walked in and stood in awe for 20 minutes. :)


And DRIVING!:o

We rented a car and drove down from Milan, so there I am...FIRST time in Rome...driving a euro -skate at 10 Pm on a Friday night in the pouring rain!:S

Now I've driven ALL OVER Europe...but I sure wished I'd had a BINDFOLD for the wife on that night!:ph34r:
