We don't really know what this place was, but there were a lot of guards and police outside.

It's hard to tell in this picture, but the buildings in this little complex were curved and just looked cool.

By the way, there was a McDonalds in the bottom of that building.

Not all of the buildings are orange. We were just happy to see colors so sometimes there are pictures just for the sake of that. (Dulbin is very grey)

Pantheon
Date/Time: Thu 01 Jun 2006 09:00:28 AM EDT
Looks pretty good for being almost 1900 years old.
No sign outside the Pantheon
Date/Time: Thu 01 Jun 2006 09:03:39 AM EDT
Basically it means no tourists, but they'll still let you in.

Most bulidings lost their marble to the Popes, but not the Pantheon.

Piazza Novona
Date/Time: Thu 01 Jun 2006 09:40:53 AM EDT
It was pretty rainy this day, but not the worst weather we had. It is interesting though to have people trying to sell you an umbrella right AFTER it stops raining.
Santa Maria Soopra Minerva
Date/Time: Thu 01 Jun 2006 10:50:48 AM EDT
This was a Gothic Church...plain on the outside...ornate inside.
Michelangelo's Christ Carrying the Cross
Date/Time: Thu 01 Jun 2006 10:46:51 AM EDT
The interesting thing about this statue is that years after it's completion someone decided to add the gold loin cloth, thereby making it ugly. (it's blurry because it's in a church and no flash allowed)
Area of Sacra di Largo Argentina
Date/Time: Thu 01 Jun 2006 10:59:09 AM EDT
We kind of stumbled across this area. This is where Caesar was stabbed on the Ides of March.
Kitties
Date/Time: Thu 01 Jun 2006 11:00:34 AM EDT
In the area in the picture before there were many many many cats. Outside of the walls there was a sign explaining that all of the cats are vacinated and neutered. You could even go down to see them, but we didn't. Rome is now the official Cat Capitol in our minds.

This is basically their "tomb of the unknown soldier." These guys had big guns ready to go.
