Oh, No...
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 55 °F
I knew that something I ate wasn't agreeing with me. I barely made it into the room before I had to make a dash into the bathroom. I told Kathy and Bryan to go and have lunch without me. I'm notもっと詳しく
A Tasty Lunch
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 55 °F
Kathy and Bryan ended up eating at a restaurant called Piccolo Arancio. I'm guessing that Bryan was the one who picked it. Kathy was sending me pictures of the food that they ordered. It looks veryもっと詳しく
Cooks in Action
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 55 °F
It must have been so interesting to watch the cooks making all the food. I would have really enjoyed this. Too bad I'm suck at the hotel trying to figure out how to work the bidet.
Pasta
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 54 °F
Kathy loves Italian food and has been wanting to try real Italian pasta for a long time. Once she finally had it, she said that it wasn't quite what she thought it would be. The pasta was a bit hard,もっと詳しく
Free Walking Tours
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 54 °F
After Kathy and Bryan returned from having lunch, we rested up for a bit before going back out to go on our free walking tour of Rome. We usually schedule at least one of these tours whenever we go onもっと詳しく
The Kiosk
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 54 °F
We saw so many of these kiosks on the streets of Paris and they seemingly sell almost anything you might need. I guess that these kiosks are a European thing because we're seeing a lot of them aroundもっと詳しく
Let's Walk
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 54 °F
It's starting to rain again, and get dark, but we wanted to go and see something rather than just go back to the hotel. I think that we were all looking forward to that tour, which is why we wanted toもっと詳しく
150 Flavors
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 54 °F
On our way to the Pantheon we passed Gelateria Della Palma, a grand ice cream parlor with a sweeping counter and a sidewalk terrace, offering 150 gelato flavors. This place definitely warrants aもっと詳しく
Gelateria Della Palma
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 54 °F
They didn't exaggerate at all. I've never seen so many different flavors of gelato in one place. I'm not sure how good the gelato actually is though because we're seeing mostly tourists in the shopもっと詳しく
Chocolate Overload
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 54 °F
There were so many variations of chocolate gelato, each looking better than the last. If I was going to get gelato here, I'd be hard pressed to pick a flavor. They all look so good!
The Pantheon
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 52 °F
It was a bit longer of a walk than I had expected but we finally made it to the Pantheon. The Pantheon is the best-preserved ancient Roman building in Rome. Because the Pantheon was turned into aもっと詳しく
No Entry
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 54 °F
We quickly discovered that nobody was being allowed inside the Pantheon right now because of a church service that was taking place inside. We could either line up and wait for a chance to get in orもっと詳しく
Waiting in the Rain
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 52 °F
It's no surprise that we decided to wait for a chance to go inside the Pantheon and take a look around. The Pantheon is a bucket list sort of place and all of us were very eager to see it.
Fountain Details
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 52 °F
The Fontana del Pantheon was commissioned by Pope Gregory XIII and is located in the Piazza della Rotonda, Rome, in front of the Roman Pantheon. It was designed by Giacomo Della Porta in 1575もっと詳しく
Out and About
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 54 °F
Despite the weather, there were lots of people out and about. I wondered if they were here to see the Pantheon or were just out for a night on the town. This area seems to have lots to bars andもっと詳しく
Faces in the Fountain
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 54 °F
I'm glad that we're getting to see this fountain at night, in the rain. The dark wetness give it a very different sort of a look than what I would expect to see during the day. These faces have a veryもっと詳しく
A Long Wait
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 50 °F
This is how far back on the line we were. It doesn't look too bad from here because the line extended very far behind us. I'm not sure how much longer the wait is going to be, but I hope that it won'tもっと詳しく
Listening to Services
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 52 °F
While we were waiting, we could hear a mass being broadcast out into the courtyard. We couldn't figure out where it was coming from but we assumed it was coming from inside the Pantheon.
Still Listening
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 52 °F
This mass seems to keep going on and on. It's all in Italian, or possibly Latin, so we can't even really listen to it or have any idea how much longer it has to go. I just hope it ends soon. Thisもっと詳しく
A Little History
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 52 °F
The Pantheon is the best preserved Ancient Roman monument. It's a bit of a mystery how the Pantheon managed to survive barbarian raids when all the rest of Roman monuments had been shattered. Itsもっと詳しく
Ready to Enter
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 52 °F
The church service has finally ended and we're ready to go inside the Pantheon. We're so excited to see what's inside this amazing building. The Pantheon is one of the seven wonders of the ancientもっと詳しく
Bye, Fontana del Pantheon
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 52 °F
As much as the Fontana del Pantheon
fascinated me, it's time for us to leave the fountain behind and go inside the Pantheon. The lines have started moving and we're moving fast. We should be insideもっと詳しく
We're In!
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 52 °F
We finally made it inside the Pantheon! This is my first look at it and, I must say, I'm very impressed! I feel like I'm stepping back in history!
The Oculus
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 52 °F
When the Pantheon was built the only source of light was the oculus in the centre of the dome. Obviously being open to the elements means it also rains inside the Pantheon but a gently sloping floorもっと詳しく
Looking Around
2019年11月9日, イタリア ⋅ 🌧 54 °F
Here’s a look around the Pantheon. Kathy shot this video and while I’m glad to get a look all around the inside, I’m surprised that she didn’t look up at the ceiling. It’s okay though. I gotもっと詳しく
