Ah, Roma! My sister and I did Rome together last January and on the afternoon we arrived, we had a bit of an eventful time finding our accommodation (nowhere near enough room to go into that story tonight - let's just say that our hotel didn't actually exist!). So after Lorinda (LJ) had slept off the bulk of her fever, (Rome in the rain with a temperature trying to get out of a corrupt deal with an Italian weasel is no fun!), we did the typical Italian thing and went out for an afternoon walk.
As we rounded a corner not too far from our hostel, we stumbled across this! ... oh, just the Coliseum! Amazing! After both of us picked our jaws up off the ground, we ran down the road (granted Lorinda's was probably more of a wheeze and a hobble!) and took a few more photos.
Better than anything in Rome was the person I saw it all with, so this one's dedicated to LJ - without whom I would have had no idea what I was supposed to be looking at on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel... I plead artistic ignorance!
Grazie mille sorella for putting up with a sister who raced you through the Vatican Museum at a rate of knots!
Ciao tutti!
