A lunch with a view

This fabulous building is the Pantheon. After visiting I had lunch across the way (where this pic was taken). Now, not only is this a memorable site to see but a very cute and very charming watier came over to tak my order and said (now you must read this with an Italian accent) "what can I get you, tell me everthing you beautful woman." And of course I melted and giggled at the over-the-top service but hey....when in Rome.....

Close up!

Ooh, bad hair day. Hair aside though, this is one of my "self-portraits" at the Coloseum. Behind me is the "floor". In ancient times, the part behind me would have been covered and sand spread across it for the fighting.

Where is the other half??

This structure certainly needs no introduction. My second day here was spent touring the ancient sites including this one. This is a fabulous view/picture I do say so myself:) Postcard worthy!

Just Me

Piazza Barberini. Just stopping for a photo op whil hanging out with Wendy and Cathy.

Luck of the Irish (and us!)

On my underground tour of Rome I met these two lovely ladies, Cathy (left) and Wendy (right) and we kinda just stuck. We found a great Irish pub to eat at as we were (a little) tired of pasta. Irish stew and some beer hit the spot.
