Rome
There's an old saying that says, "Rome wasn't built
in a day so shouldn't try to see it in a day." Well, it's true but we tried it
anyway. After 11 days of walking Italy, our feet revolted and didn't handle day
12 of walking very well. However, we saw many beautiful and old sights. The
ruins and coloseum are pretty amazing, and to think that these things were all
built soooooo many years ago is quite mind boggling. One pleasant surprise was
running into the pope, well kind of. We went to see the Sistine Chapel, but
decided the line was too long and that we'd come back later. So, we went to
Saint Peter's square first and just happened upon thousands and thousands of
people listening and watching the pope. It was an unexpected
surprise.
It's not a very close photo because we grew weary of toting the big lens around everywhere. Just when we needed it too!
THIS is the lens we needed...

This guy was reading a book on the Top 10 things to do in Rome. Apparently there are actually 11.
