A great visit to Rome--although I discovered that I hate being a tourist. I'll have to see if I can find a way to work a bit when I visit another country so my full time employment isn't just sightseeing. But here are some pics.



These are the steps designed by Michelangelo, leading up to the Capitoline Hill.



This is a view across the Tiber to St. Peter's Basilica.



This is a view of the Forum.



This is the bronze of the athlete removing a splinter, in the Capitoline Museum.



This is Michelangelo's sculpture of Moses, located in S. Petro in Vinculi.



This is a more or less random view of one angle on the Roman skyline, taken from the top of the hill where the Borghese gardens are located. We stayed not far from there.

Of all the places we visited in Rome, this is my favorite.



It's the church of St. Clement, not far from St. John Lateran, a much more famous, much bigger church. St. Clement is really four sites in one. Right at the bottom, in the spookiest place I've ever been, is a 2nd century BCE Mithraeum, where worship of the sun-god Mithras took place. On top of that is an early Christian church, from around the 5th century CE. Then there's a medieval church on top of that, from around the 12th century, and then a Renaissance facade on top of that. There's no photography allowed inside the church, unfortunately. You go down and down and down, and it gets darker and damper and scarier. Very neat.
