Rome 2


My BFF Doug has moved to Italy!  How awesome is that? 

Of course it has been raining and snowing ever since he arrived.  Oh well.  I am sure it will be spring soon  
I haven't visited Bassano, where he is living, yet.  So I thought I would post another set of photos from Rome.  

Most of these are from the famous Roman Forum.  

I've been watching the new Cleopatra series on tv.

So I have been thinking of Julius Caesar's murder in the curia of the Theatre of Pompey lately.  

And wondering if history will repeat itself  - as it has a tendency to do. 

These other pics are from the Villa d'Este and Hadrian's Villa in Tivoli.  

It's a beautiful place. 

Famous for its Italian Renaissance Gardens and ruins from the time of Hadrian I  - two of my favorite things.  

And, we couldn't resist turning this fun shot in front of the Neptune Fountain into our holiday card that year.  

Here's a previous blog of Rome...


Enjoy!
