Rainy day in Rome

Today we started out at the Spanish Steps. The Metro took us very close, so it was a quick walk.







We can not get over the traffic and how people park their cars.


Smart cars can park either sideways or straight in. Seems young and old, have Vespas and they drive like their life depend on them going fast. By the way, there are no center lines in the street and they often drive three abreast with inches between the cars. Yikes!

This is a view of The Castle of St. Angelo



We got as far as Saint Peters Square. They still have the Nativity set up.









In the afternoon we went to the Borghese Gallery. They have some of the most beautiful sculptures in the world including David and Daphne and Apollo. Unfortunately, cameras are not allowed. You will just have to come to Rome.

This evening we went back to the Colosseum to see it at night.


Until next time.....
