See Rome Run
So instead of showing you Rome in several blog posties, I have decided to show you our trip in the form of a children's picture book. Enjoy!
See Rome with Friends:
Seated atop our hotel's roof with our friends Chris and Lygia.
See Rome with Dogs:
Doggies checking out the Castle St. Angelo.
Doggies checking out the Pantheon.
See Colosseums, Ancient Markets, Ruins and Stuff:
Ruins in the Roman Forum. I loved this ruined stuff.
Trajan's Market, built in 100 AD. They specialized in organic free range chickens.
View from the outside of the Colosseum. Um, it made my jaw drop.
The Boy and Chris getting a call from Jason Bourne from inside the Colosseum. Saving the world happens at the most inconvenient of times.
See the Vatican City which isn't technically Rome:
We fortunately bought our tickets in advance, and yelled "suckers!" to all the people waiting in a 2 km line in the rain to get in. Just nuts what people do to get in this place.
I thought this particular sculpture looked nothing like me, but the Boy swore up and down it did.
Unfortunately you are not allowed to take pictures of Michelangelo's famous Fresco The Last Judgement in the Sistine Chapel, but there was plenty of other art you could snap photos of. We really liked this Philosopher's hair. Very Flock of Seagulls.
See Fountains, Steps and Views:
A little Trevi Fountain action
Actual steps from the Spanish Steps. Step on up!
Just one of the many spectacular views of Rome.
See Rome on an empty stomach:
Mmmmmmmm....ushroom fancy style served with bone marrow.
Mmmmm...foam on top of something I forget.

See Rome and obtain one dirty little secret:
Shame!
And finally, See Rome with Someone you Love:

I can't decide which pics are my favorite - the ones of the doggies or the ones of the food. :) Looks like you guys had a killer time!
How's about the pictures with the Remicks? AHEM. Anywho, Rome was fantastic and I hope the pictures showed how amazing it was.
You guys look great! Looks like you are having a blast together! Love the pics of the pups, too. Bailey and Stella send snorts!
Great pics--the most wonderful city I have ever been. Wish Sus and I could have been there with you guys!
