Taxi ride into Rome - first scenes we saw.

From the taxi too, first closeup look at the Colosseum
Somewhat different angle than usually shown
02-MAY-2006
Close to the Colosseum, very nice locale and serviceable room for about 140 Euros in May '06,
for a double, with twin beds. Varies greatly by seasons.

Lots of city transportation options

Horse & carriage a regular here (and in Florence)
02-MAY-2006
People do dress with a certain style there.

Sundown on gates. Hard to imagine what went on here centuries ago.
