Romancing Rome..

 Rome is timeless with it's ancient history, art and architecture containg more treasures per square foot than any other city in the world. 

Our walking tour took us through the treasures of the city such as the Colloseum, Roman Forum, Trevi fountain, The Spanish Steps and The Pantheon.
Our visit to the Vatican included the Museum containing Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and such other jaw dropping art and antiquities collections.
Our trip ended at St.Peter's Basilica, which is the largest church in the world.
We left Italy for London the next day.  Italy is a feast for the senses and intellect.  The 10 days there, helped us absorb the rich treasury of art & architecture while enjoying the cuisine, countryside and Italian lifestyle.
