When in Rome... but WHAT do Romans do?...

Fun at an Irish pub in Rome. Good times, thanks guys.


The colosseum by night...






Self-portrait in front of St. Peter's Basilica. The Pope didn't come out that day...

This is what happens to you within the walls of the Basilica...






This is Dave (left) and Marc (middle)- two great guys from England who shared our 6-bed room with us at the hostel. we had such a great time with them. definitely a boost to the Roman experience =)


The Pope... we were sitting in a cafe just across the way but were completely oblivious to the thousands who had gathered to hear him speak. this is the best i could get: from a tourist who actually did see him.







Ellie and I enjoy a glorious afternoon gazing at the colosseum and its tourists... and a bacardi breezer...
