Yesterday about 1800 or so (6pm) I had not idea what I was going to do to bring in the New Year. I had no idea what was in store for me.
I did not want to walk all the way to the Vatican again, so I wandered around the […]
DAY 3 IN ROME
I woke up late again, but not as late as yesterday, and under the circumstances I think that I did pretty good.
Today was beautiful. Sunny and wonderful. So, even though the guide books told me that the Imperial Rome stuff would be closed, I had to go.
See the […]
DAY 4 in ROME
No new photos today, and I understand that the large photos on the second and third pages do not work. I will have to fix that later.
Today was almost entirely spent in the National Museum of Rome. Classics majors can be jealous, because it houses the largest collection of Roman […]
I have more pictures up, and am currently uploading more. I am not arranging them in the galleries in the most efficient manner, but neither do I have the most efficient way of uploading them (10 at a time, very slowly). I might rearrange them when I get back to Louisville, but knowning […]
DAY 5 in Rome.
I am tired, and did much today. Look at the pictures.
In short, I got up, had a cappaccino and bread at my hotel with some other patrons, and went to the Colosseum.
From there I spent much of the morning on the Capolitine hill. I saw where the ancient Senate met:
From […]
I am having problems loading pages on my site: this post is a test. Also, my netscape email will not let me send out. I have recieved messages from three people, but will just wait to reply. Sorry guys.
Day 6 in Rome
I got up late a missed church, which turned out to be ok, because I would not have found it in time anyway. I will try to attend the Baptist church next week.
I did go to the Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, several churches, and a few […]
Yesterday I did have a little story that I forgot to write about. I was at the top of the Spanish Steps, leaving the church there, when a few of the beggers, females, surrounded me and began asking for money in increasingly fast Italian. My first “No comprendo” did not work, and as […]
Because I must live in the bizzaro universe, the official Al Sharpton for President website (sharpton2004.org) is using one of my files. I have not found the file on his website, and maybe it is no longer there, but I have gotten some referrals from his site also. My website reports are not […]
Today I got up late and headed out to the Vatican.
St. Peter’s is an impressive thing indeed!
And it is well guarded.
I climbed to the top of the basilica. I chose to save €1 (4 indead of 5) and hike the stairs all the way to the top, instead of take the elevator half of […]
Day 8 in Rome part 1
I got up early this morning knowing that most things of historical interest would be closed today . . . it’s Epiphany (also called Three Kings day, also Theophany or Apperance Day), which is semi-celebrated in Italy.
I grabbed breakfast at the McDonalds in Termini Station, which was as cheap a […]
Day 8 in Rome part 2
WHY IS ST. PETER’S SQUARE SO FULL ALL OF THE SUDDEN?
WHO IS EVERYBODY LOOKING AT?
OH, THERE’S THE POPE . . . GOOD THING I AM DOWN HERE IN FRONT.
Hi there!
I went to Rome and got my picture taken with Pope John Paul II . . . what did you do […]
