Rome

These first views are all taken from the top of the Spanish Steps, which was only about a 10 minute walk from our hotel.

The windows in the picture on the right look into the room where John Keats died.

Bella Roma!

Behind and below us are various forums that are being excavated. We are only a few blocks from the Colosseum.

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Our friend Benny the Chef called this spectacular monument "The Wedding Cake."

Views of the Colosseum

Jane and I atop the Spanish Steps. We really liked the Spanish Steps, I guess.

I created this blog mostly to share with some friends my pictures of Italy. This view is from the top of the Spanish Steps. Later in the day, the steps were almost covered with people and the wares of street vendors--sunglasses, mostly--laid out on white cloths.
