The Heart of Rome, Italy

Here we go!! We are staying at Casa Il Rosario run by the Dominican Sisters of Charity. It is a perfect place to stay, and situated in the heart of ancient Rome, near the train station, Roman Forum, the Coliseum and Trevi fountain.
Today we created our own heart of Rome walk, while listening to a podcast explaining each feature. Our 4 hour hike included: Campo di Fiore; Piazza Farnese; Via dei Baulare; Pasquino; Piazza Navona; The Pantheon; Piazza Capranica; Piazza de Monticitorio; Piazza Colonna; Trevi fountain; Palazzo de Propaganda Fide; Column of the Immaculate Conception; and the Spanish Steps. I could write an entire blog post on each of these sites- fascinating! Since I don't have the space, I hope the pictures tell the story!
The sites were amazing, the artwork phenomenal, and the history of Rome being told through its architecture and sculptures.
Oh, and did I mention the weather has been perfect, and the pasta carbonara, pizza, and gelato delicious!
And the adventure continues- Tomorrow We visit the ancient Roman sites!Read more
