Via del Pantheon
9. November 2019 in Italien ⋅ 🌧 54 °F
Despite the long lines outside, it doesn't seem very crowded inside. I'm still in awe that were actually inside the Pantheon!

9. November 2019 in Italien ⋅ 🌧 54 °F
It's so easy to get good shots with Danbo. I just stood him up on the side moulding and had him looking bup at the domed ceiling. I thought that one of the guards would say something to me aboutWeiterlesen

Groot is Speechless
9. November 2019 in Italien ⋅ 🌧 52 °F
Groot is also flabbergasted by the magnificent architecture of the Pantheon. I noticed a few people watching me set up this shot but most people didn't seem to notice. I'm guessing that all they couldWeiterlesen

By now, we were all getting hungry and decided to start heading someplace to have dinner. Using his phone, Bryan found a place that sounded good and wasn't too far away. I'm expecting to have a niceWeiterlesen

It didn't take us long to walk to Enoteca e Taverna Capranica, a cozy looking little restaurant near the Pantheon. This place has very good reviews so we're expecting a good dinner. We sat at theWeiterlesen

A barrel filled with corks from used wine bottles was close to where we were sitting. They seem to drink a lot of wine in Italy! Something about this scene looks so interesting to me. I'm thinkingWeiterlesen

We started off, of course, with some very fresh and tasty bread. Like all Italian restaurants, even the ones back home, there was no butter for the bread. Instead, we had a saucer of olive oil to dipWeiterlesen

So Delicious!
9. November 2019 in Italien ⋅ 🌧 50 °F
Everything was so tasty and delicious but one thing we all noticed was that our pasta was kind of hard, as if it wasn't really cooked enough. Apparently, that's how pasta gets eaten in Rome. I'm notWeiterlesen

Very Spicy!

My Cacio e Pepe had so much pepper on it that it was too spicy for me to eat very much of it. Bryan finished it off for me so at least the food didn't go to waste. I don't know how he's able to eat soWeiterlesen

Kathy offered to get the check, which was nice of her. We always take turns paying, which is fair. I'll make sure that I take care of the next dinner bill. I hope that it's in a restaurant as nice asWeiterlesen

These long steep escalators remind me of the ones in London's Underground and the Paris Metro. European subway systems all seem to be very deep underground.

I have to say, I'm a little disappointed in the appearance of Rome's subway stations. It's very dark, gloomy and depressing. I think a bit more lighting in this station would go a very long way.Weiterlesen

Kathy took this picture of me at the Coliseum. Although it's nice to be able to look back at pictures of myself being here, I know that I'm never going to forget our visit to the Roman Coliseum.
