Our tour guide at the Vatican/St. Peter's...
Me in Piazza Navona (you might recognize it from Angels & Demons as the fountain that Tom Hanks pulls a cardinal from)
Trevi Fountain!!! (someone else in my group took pictures of us kissing coins and tossing them in...)
Furman gladiators! We are standing in front of one of the rooms where a gladiator would have lived and trained (this is next to the Colosseum and Roman forum)...
My first ride on a metro!! I think Erik is embarrassed by me...
Oh, St. Peter's...
The Roman sunset from the steps of a church...
Allison & I at the Colosseum
One of the churches we toured...
OH MY GOODNESS.
Just got back from Rome last night. Too much to ever fit into one blog post but I will do what I can.
Things we saw: the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Appian Way, Saint Sebastian's cattacombs, St John Lateran, St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican & Vatican Museums, the Borghese Gallery, the church of Saint Cecilia (the patron saint of music), The Ecstasy of Saint Theresa in Santa Maria della Vittoria, Michelango's Moses....art by Bernini, Michelango, Caravvagio and more...the Sistine Chapel, the crypt of Cappucian monks (instead of just burying the monks, their bones were used to decorate crypts), the Roman Forum, Piazza Navona, the Trevi Fountain...
...the list goes on and on. (We also saw Bill Engvall in the Rome train station last night- he was boarding the same train as we were). Unfortunately, a 3-day trip to Rome does not rid Furman students of homework, lessons or tests, so I must go practice and work. More pictures are on facebook if you are interested! :)
