We had two days in Civitevecchia. You see, Rome is not port city, but Civitivecchia is. So on our first day, we boarded a bus and, oh, about an hour and half inland we got to Rome. First stop...Trevi Fountain, pictured above.
Not the greatest picture of us, but at least one reader commented that she wanted more "gross lovey-dovey" pictures. So here ya go.
The next mass of pictures (my mom would call it a "ponk") are of the Forum.
Beautiful fruit on one of the many Roman roads we walked that day. Josh says we must have walked 3 miles. I don't care, it earned me a spa treatment. :-)
More pics of the Forum.
We are entering the Colosseum now.
This (the basement) is where the lions, gladiators, and Christians waited for the "games" to begin. An elevator of sorts lifted them to the floor of the Colosseum.
Now we move to Vatican City.
Many of the Popes are buried here.
We did not see the Sistine Chapel on this tour. Instead we saw St. Peter's Basilica. Much larger, and although we didn't Michelangelo's ceiling, we saw many other great works of Renaissance art. This is where the Pieta is housed. I have pictures, but they need some editing before they are blog worthy.
Second day in Civitivecchia we did an olive oil tasting in Toscania. Look for that on Monday.

Busy day! Looks like you had great weather so far. I like the lovey dovey picture.
Josh's hat looks very appropriate there. You two are so cute!
I love the fruit picture; it looks like a poster of wax fruit. It's hard to imagine that there could be that much perfect fruit in one place.
