Roman Forum

Despite horrible jet lag, we took a taxi out to Piazza Venezia and walked around the oldest part of Rome. We saw the Capitoline and some amazing statues which I can't show you here because Bill's camera saves pictures in a raw data format that doesn't work with Blogger. But here is the Roman Forum...







I cannot believe how ancient all these things are and they are just sitting here mixed in with other modern parts of the landscape. There is nothing like this back home. We could also clearly see how Rome was built in layers, one on top of the other.
