Piazza Navona
Today we hit The Colloseum and The Forum. It is always so humbling to see an entire empire that was one of the greatest in history lying around in fallen column and crumbled pieces of beatiful architecture and frieze.
All is ashes, or some such Ecclesiasticus wrote... oh yes, vanity, vanity.. all is vanity
We hit the Trevi fountain to make a wish... THROW the coin over the back of the shoulder to do it properly! Then we hit the mecca of Rome... GELATO! Picolo Fragula... Lucious!
We tooted down past the Pantheon.... Mom's comment was, "I'll never say that a building in Charleston is old again." Since the Pantheon was created in 125 AD. Quite a few years ago. Staggering that this civilation made these things with no cranes or modern methods of construction....
Finally, we alight upon Piazza Navona... Bernini has a few fountains here, people everywhere! Artists on the square. We stop to have a glass of Rossi and some bruscetta and mozarella.. Ymmy! Roma sweet Roma.... Bellisimo! Tomorrow M starts the first day of his class at the Biblicum for his Licentiente in Sacred Scripture and we hit the tracks at 6:30AM YAWN for Athens!
Don't know if I"ll find any internet connection in Greece, but I shall look for a cafe! Buene Notte my dear friends. You are in our hearts!
