Do you need a bath?

This honeymoon has been fabulous. I am so lucky that I met a man that is interested in the same things that I have and one that is willing to be drug all over creation. He is as big as a geek as I am. We love architecture and history and art. Rome has all of these. We are getting plenty excercise walking all over Rome. Today we are going to the ruins of the Caraculla Roman Baths. The Baths of Caracalla, the second largest baths complex in ancient Rome, were built between 212 and 219 A.D. by ...

When in Rome

Another day of history and art. Our first stop is Musei Capitolini for ancient art. The Capitoline Museums (Italian Musei Capitolini) are a group of art and archaeological museums in Piazza del Campidoglio, on top of the famous Capitoline Hill in Rome, Italy. The museums are contained in three buildings surrounding a central trapezoidal piazza in a plan conceived by Michelangelo Buonarroti in 1536. I think the most interesting thing in the Museum is the huge parts of the colossus of Constanti...

Vacating to the Vatican

So I guess it is going to be religious Rome today. The smallest independent Sovereign State is Vatican city with 200 inhabitants. Cory was raised Catholic. I figured with his background he could teach me a lot about what we were about to see in the Vatican. The Vatican had changed in the last 3 years. They have put in metal detectors before you are able to enter. We came to the Vatican most of all to see the Pieta, the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museums. You could spend weeks touring the...

Moses, Michelangelo and Me

After Breakfast and cappuccino at Hotel Stella Cory and I wandered out into the city. European trips for me are always filled with Art and history. Today we are going to start with Michelangelo's Moses. San Pietro in Vinicoli like so many churches in Rome sits unpretentiously in a little corner near a stairway. There is nothing that screams amazing piece of art in side. When it was created it was just another tomb stone but Moses by Michelangelo is one of his most amazing sculpture. It is sa...

Bones to Bernini, our second day in Rome

Today we are on a quest. Bones to Bernini... starting with the bones. There are two things that all people have in common we are born and we die. Over the centuries we have handled that second commonality differently. Is it Macabre? Maybe but cemeteries and funerary monuments fascinate me. From the Pyramids of Egypt to the "drive safely" signs tied with silk flowers and old teddy bears at dangerous intersections we all want to somehow remember our lost loved ones. This sometimes leads to dile...

Roaming Rome

Last night was our honeymoon night and things didn't go quite according to plans. Cory and I had left the family so that we could start our honeymoon alone. We sat on our balcony drinking wine and nibbling on paninis and talking about the fantastic day that we had. We had told the family that we wouldn't be seeing them again. On his way to pick up the wine Cory had run into Paulie and Christina who were looking for Amanda and Heath. Something to do with the train to Milan. We thought we would...

... corner where you can make phone calls and buy phone cards. Off we went to the guy around the corner where we were told the original QANTAS number is a "bad number", the Iberia one from the hostel won't work as it's a freecall (and he can't make money off it) and the other two call centre ones from the tourist information place might work. We tried them but to no avail. He didn't sell phonecards for the payphone but recommended we try the pub up the road, but no they didn't sell ...

God Bless The World

... threaten each other with nuclear arms? Or how about those Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland, What do they ask God to bless in the spirit of Christian brotherhood? God Bless America. The last words uttered at the conclusion of every presidential speech. In fact, every presidential candidate, no matter how shallow or non-existent his faith in God may be, would not dare to end a speech in any other way. And of course, since the tragic event of September 11, 2001 ...

The sounds of Rome

... whatever they are touting. The musicians are hoping we'll part with our cash at that very moment so they'll move to the next car and get the heck out of our faces. Different methods, same result: cash. Third, we viewers don't really WANT to pay attention to either commercials or Metro musicians, but, like a car crash, we simply have to train our eyes on the spectacle. Next, if one gullible (or duly moved) soul shells out some cash and drops it in the musician's cup ...

10th May 2000 Rome

... Change of plans. We worked around the Vatican walls, beside the street that I had driven down when entering Rome on Saturday, till we came to the entrance to the Vatican Museum. We spent the day here. We discovered that many rooms or exhibitions close for periods during the day. We don't know if it is to relieve staff for a lunch break or what. What we do know, is that you can be heading toward an exhibit, and find the staircase or room ...
