ROME
Rome - the eternal city. This was not a tourist trip (we have been to Rome several times before) instead it was a catch up with my wife’s nephew and an excuse for a leisurely lunch and a visit to some churches to see some Caravaggio paintings.
A quick photo stop outside the Pantheon
The "fallen madonna with the big boobies " (TV series 'Allo 'Allo) was there
Lunch at a small taverna in Trastevere
There seemed to be a magician in the kitchen!
Taken on the Capitoline Hill
The pope seems to be giving us the finger!
