Rome, last day, continuation of the trip

I took with carolyn, July, 2007

The floor under the collesium	Carolyn looking down	a view of the Roman forum	arc de triumph
again the forum as viewed from the Collosium	arch	people outside	walking toward the Forum
Next we'll go through the Forum	we are still inside the collosium	where slaves and gladiators fought for their lives	June 19, 1944, Italy conquered
Slaves didn't have a choice	Gladiators chose this profession that stripped them out of the Roman citizenship but guaranteed a lavish salary	Finally out under the arc of triumph	newley wed
Collosium built cir 70 ad	not real columns	stones were triangles to sustain time	in the Roman forum


Lots of ruins	hot weather	Europe is heating up	What will be the future?
All we have is history	Carolyn's chosen profession	more newly wed	what will be their future?
Climbing out of the Forum	to rejoin modern civilization	and get back on ...	our bus?
Next stop	Piazza Navona	and its beautiful fountains	Main is being washed
Some human sculptures	Many artists	another fountain	Lunch
while we watch the activity	Hat seller setting up	I'm hot	thinking of buying a hat
Neat restaurant	with my new hat	and a dog	walking to the Pantheon
Here it is	Another fountain	The Pantheon	and a Roman soldier
Sun hits a spot	Light filters in	Bright teeth among the columns	Back on our tour bus

Going to another fountain	Which is it?	The most famous one...	Prepare your 3 coins
Prepare your wish	Toss them in one at a time	Here we are	So good with my baby
Now we've walked to the Spanish Steps	that were really French	I cool my feet in the fountain water	ha...so good...
Look how we tanned!	See care's and Ash's present	Sitting in a luxury caffe	not far
then back on the bus	to our hotel	passing some neat sculptures	Dinner is African
or ethiopian near the hotel	That meal unfortunately gave Care a bad stomach:( See the end of our trip in Milan. Ciao!
