When in Rome, eat!

Last weekend Joe and I spent an amazing weekend in Rome eating and seeing the sites. I can't describe how yummy all the food was and there was a wonderful selection of food without tomatoes, thank goodness. We ate lots of pasta and pizza and even ate dinner twice on Sunday just because we could.

When we left on Friday it was a beautifully clear day that left us with breathtaking views of the Alps as we flew south from Geneva to Rome. The pictures didn't turn out as clear at it really was, but they're close. In this picture you can see lake Geneva on the left hand side with the French and Swiss Alps on the right.

Saturday morning we got up early and went straight to the Vatican to see St. Peter's Basilica (below) and to the Vatican Museum to see the Sistine Chapel.
Saturday afternoon we spent walking around the Roman ruins of the Forum and the Colosseum. It was really cool to be around such old structures.


On Sunday it rained a lot, so we spent a lot of time inside eating, saw the Pantheon and visited the Spanish Steps again. For more pictures visit my flickr account.
