  • Civitaveccha - the port for Rome.
  • Oceana pulls into Civitaveccha.
  • A highlight of our visit to Rome was the Vatican Scavi Tour (<a href="http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/institutions_connected/uffscavi/documents/rc_ic_uffscavi_doc_gen-information_20040112_en.html">Vatican web site</a>). No photos are permitted on the tour. However, the tour finishes in the area where the past popes are entombed.
  • St. Peters. Wow! Those letters below the windows are 6 foot 2 inches tall, it's 5.7 acres and has a capacity over 60,000.
  • Bernini's canopy
  • St. Peter's has two stoups like this one.
  • Piazza Navona
  • Hotel Smeraldo had small, comfortable room just off the Campo de'Fiori. A great spot in the heart of Rome. This was the view out our room window.
  • Constantly running drinking facets are all over Rome. Plug the hole and it becomes a fountain.
  • Shewolf of the Capitoline (Romulus and Remus suckling are Renaissance additions)
  • Equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius
  • Marcus again.
