Sightseeing galore. St. Peter's, both the tomb of the Popes and the Basilica, the Colosseum by day, the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon and a walking tour that took us along the beautifully tree lined river and through some Roman neighborhoods that made me wonder what it would be like to just pick up and move. We ended our day with some of the best food of our trip (not THE best, hold for Firenza on that but certainly close). Eating on an open rooftop patio, we enjoyed carpaccio, authentic carbonara, perfect, flaky sea bass and delicious Italian wine with each course.

This inset was called "Conversion of the Pagans" - last I checked the best way to get someone to do what you want is to stand on them, literally or figuratively. okay, off my soapbox, this one just one of those things that irks me.
Ben was getting photo happy and snapping lots of me. Ignore the crazy hair, but notice the cardigan, worn especially for the modesty police.
The Spanish Steps - clearly quite full of tourists, but we made our way to the top anyway
