Day Three

Well hello from Rome. Day three and even though Rome is like New York on crack, this is an amazing city. We started the day with the Pope at St. Peter's. Look at the sea of people we got to worship with.



Pope Benedict at the window. He gave blessings in at least seven languages. Very impressive.


Here we are receiving the blessing. See the Pope in the window.


Finally made it inside the Colosseum. Hard to imagine what kinds of things happened here. It is actually more impressive from the outside.

They have a piece of the ground rebuilt to give an idea of what it would have looked like.

We made a couple of friends at Buffato Pizzaria near Piazza Navona. This is John and Angela from Los Angeles, CA. (hey guys) We hope to meet up with them in Florence later this week.


One more night shot of the Colosseum. A little photo magic with a time exposure to get all the lighting just right. (all those years as a commercial photography major paying off)
