The Forum

Franco knew of a good vantage point to see the Forum from-a steep winding street with no parking so he let us off and arranged a meeting place further on. There were a number of pedestrians there already taking photos.

In this first one you can see, in the middle of the photo in the distance , the tower I had photographed earlier from the Palatine Hill....a long way away so we were right in not trying to walk the Forum today. We are returning to Rome this September to join another Princess Cruise ship sailing to Barcelona and so we will get to visit the Forum for as long as we want. Can't wait!












To meet Franco we had to walk through Michaelangelo Square-designed by the Genius himself.










Franco would be parked at the bottom of these steps








I was learning that in Rome no matter where you point your camera, there is something worthy taking a picture of. Carol has her camera ready too....


A 2,000 year old house. You don't find these in America!






Once we met Franco and had drank some cold water (have to stay hydrated!) I suggested we go to lunch as we were both very hungry by this time.

Next up- lunch before the Vatican Tour.
