Pictures!

Well, this is all I could put up before Blogger got cranky. More to come!

Yes, I always look this sweaty and tired. That's life here in Rome. This was taken yesterday on one of the pedestrian bridges over the Tiber (Tevere) River, when Nancy and I were on our way to the bank and to Campo de Fiori for shopping.

SPQR = Senatus Populusque Romae (The Senate and the People of Rome). Since ancient times, the Romans have used these initials to mark their territory and assert their power. Today you'll find it on bridges, storm drains, grates, manhole covers, etc., etc. Everywhere, in other words.

I took this photo of the Vatican Museum entrance. We walk by it at least twice a day. The lines are usually unbelievable. Word to the wise: don't even think about coming on a weekend.

The steps into Mordor! Just kidding. It's a staircase we climb every day to get anywhere. It's not really daunting, just annoying. But it's a great shortcut.

This is the little hole in the wall called JCU. Not much to see, but lots of great resources. This computer lab is such an amazing blessing.
