A panoramic pasted together by my daughter the photographer.
We are home and getting back in the swing of things. I loved Rome, but was happy to walk the beach with my little dog on Wednesday morning, and to sleep in my own bed. I brought home a nasty head cold and I am still waking up before 5 every morning, so I am pretty tired by dinner time. Am thinking about dressing the house and yard up for Christmas.
A few pics of our trip --
How we started each day . . . yummy cappucino
The restoration room
St. Peter's -- I love those Mediterranean pines
Bernini's Colonnade
The Pantheon
Clara Attacking a Roman Soldier (for a price, of course)
Campo de Fiori
The Coliseum
Every square foot of floor in the Vatican is a work of art . . . and inspiration for a rug, perhaps?
