When in Rome

Our time in Rome was limited. We managed to miss the walk through ancient ruins, due to my working schedule.

We both also caught a cold. Before we left, my son had told me that we would get sick in Venice, because everyone gets sick in Venice. He had just returned from there, and came back with pneumonia.

It was true.
By the time we got to Rome I had a fever and Mae had a cough.

We did manage to visit the Vatican Museum and St. Peter's Basilica the next day though. It was worth it. It is one of the best art museums in the world.

Outside in the inner courtyard there are dozens of sculptures that are over 2000 years old. You can see some of them in the background shots here.
