Hi SueZQ~~
Sarah is hoping that all ~100(!) pics can be posted on your
web page. If it's too much, let me know, and she'll delete the ones she
can live without.
Thanx!
Hugs~~

Okie dokie, here we go...
I
bet I don't have to tell you what this is! These pictures are from the
first night we were there, after our train ride, which was really really awful.
Ruins.
There's a lot of those in Roma...
Here's
some ruins next to a pretty little corner of th Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II
Hee
hee! Can you believe this guy wanted five euros a picture!!!! Sheesh!
This
is the arch next to the colosseum. I forget what it's called...
He
smelled really bad.
This
place is big, let me tall ya!
hehe,
more pretty ruins.
Here
you can see the other side of the arch and where it is in relation to the
colosseum. You can't see it from here, but not a single statue on that
arch still had it's head. It was kinda scary...
There's
a lot of these random abandoned pillars everywhere. They're about all
that's left of 99% of the buildings in the Forum.
Ruins
in the Palatino. The Palatino is on the hill above the Forum.
Um,
as you might remember from the Milan pics, I'm obsessed with taking pictures of
statues...this caused a lot of trouble for me in Rome...I nearly had a breakdown
at the vatican.
See?
Pretty statue!
Ok, more to come in a sec...
