Mediterranean Mosaic: Rome

We arrived in Italy a day early in order to spend a day in Rome before boarding the cruise ship. Here are the highlights of our excellent private tour of the city on May 28, 2008.

Michelangelo's Moses at the Church of St. Peter in Chains:



The Pantheon:



The oculus from the interior of the Pantheon:



My brother, Chris, loving his first day ever in Italy:



The ever-impressive Trevi Fountain:





My sister, Cathi, tossing a coin into the fountain, assuring her return to Rome:



Bramante's Tempietto, a rare treat!
(See the model I made that inspired the visit to this masterwork.)
