The walk from our hotel near the Spanish
Steps takes us along the Tevere River and down this line of trees.
Clearly, it isn't exactly spring here yet. But it is warm in the sun and
we feel perfectly comfortable strolling all around Rome.

We cross a bridge of angels toward St Angelo
Castle. That really is the real sky up there.
|
 |
The plaza in front of St Peter's is lovely
and my favorite part are the two fountains.
|
 |
Here, we've climbed three
thousand stairs up to the cupola of St Peter's and we're looking out
over Rome. (By the way, pink is not
"in" in Rome this season.)

 |
The Apostles all have their backs to us and
appear to be engaged to different degrees with the crowd in the plaza
below.

The inside of St Peter's. And I thought that
I could only get that rich atmosphere in India, but here it is in Italy.
I tried to convince Julie to pose kneeling in the light of inspiration
for the picture, but she wouldn't have it.

Looking up to the main dome of St Peter's.
Below is the tomb of the Saint himself.
