Part One!
Top: the monitor in the seat facing me on our Air France flight to Paris and then to Rome.
Next: The Colosseum, which is much bigger than I ever thought it was, and was not, as I had been led to believe, overrun with cats. We only saw two while we were there.
The bottom: a view toward the Roman ruins next to the Colosseum, which all fascinated me. I could have stayed there for hours, looking at all the various temples and government buildings.

Our sight-seeing began in Rome, called "The Eternal City". Now that I have seen it, I can understand that appelation. The ruins appear to have been there for eons.
hi from muchlele
ReplyDeleteThe Colosseum was magnificent and so was the Forum. We took Nyssa's picture at the Temple of the Vestil Virgins.... Her Uncle's idea. :)
ReplyDeletei , am, so, jealous! dan and i were just talking (again) about needing a trip to europe. NEEDING. we've never been and want to go so badly. sigh.
ReplyDeletehere via you know who's you know what.
Wow Rome! I'm so jealous. How does the wheelchair fit in?
ReplyDeleteGreat pics! Sounds like you had fun. Hope the jet-lag is going away.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog.
Rome left me in awe. To walk among the antiquity was just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic trip, Judy! Sounds you had a great time! Love these photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog!
Great picture of the colesium! Glad it was a fun trip!
ReplyDeleteJudy, those are wonderful pictures! As for the cats, remember that they're probably cautious and really good at hiding.
ReplyDeleteMichele is actually sending me to Kim's, but I couldn't let you get skipped! horrors, no! So here I am - and all the richer for the detour.
p.s. I have a meme - a really short one - that I would like you to check out, OK? Thanks!

ReplyDeleteWhoo Hoo!!! Welcome home, Kenju! Lovely pics, I'm glad you had a good time.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are back home, safe and sound. Your photos are great. Thanks
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures!
ReplyDeleteI would actually be very entertained to find the Colosseum filled with cats.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good time.
Michele sent me.
I can't wait to read more about your trip. We went to Rome two years ago and it was amazing. We only walked next to the Coliseum. Very cool to see the inside!
ReplyDeleteMichele sent me today, Judy. Have a great weekend!
Welcome home! :-)
ReplyDeletethis looks like a great trip, I look forward to hearing more about it.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed the photos. With the people in the photo it really gives a good perspective on how large the Colosseum is. I did not realize it was really that big.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Judy!
ReplyDeleteNice photos and I'm sure you came home with loads of memories. Good luck on the jet lag.
I am intrigued by the story of cats in the coliseum. I like to think they were really there but hiding because it was daylight.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot more fun than blogging.
What wonderful pictres Judy....That place is truly awesome and you captured the size incredibly in those pictures.
ReplyDeleteOnly two cats? Amazing! (lol)
