So much!<br /><br />Up near the top was a lovely quote by G.K. Chesterton.

Now our tour guide may have said that but we did not hear everything he said, due to lack of attention on our part, and enunciation on his.<br /><br />Did you know how Hanno died? Poor fellow. He ws constipated and they gave him a laxative made of gold!?!?The Islanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236754103248128056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6273828076210425774.post-55260795907417906682013-08-15T21:01:31.573-07:002013-08-15T21:01:31.573-07:00You saw my shot of one of the pretty boy guards? ...You saw my shot of one of the pretty boy guards? Good reason to smile.<br /><br />Illegal shots happened, alright. Our cameras are so loud I am amazed that your father did not get ushered out of that Chapel. It was so crowded... so jammed with people.

You know, Shelby, we were only in Rome one day and we saw so little. That town takes a lot of time to really do it right. Another time.<br /><br />I could have given you more photos to look at, you are right. I probably started out with 4-500. I have about 350 still in files on just Rome with 80 + as my "Best of Rome". But I didn't want to tire out my friends.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by. Now I am working on Sicily which will be much shorter. Until then...<br />The Islanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236754103248128056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6273828076210425774.post-43984876915712038312013-08-15T20:52:24.286-07:002013-08-15T20:52:24.286-07:00Yes, looking forward to the "illegal" sh...Yes, looking forward to the "illegal" shots!<br /><br />Were the guards all dressed up in those fancy stripey costumes?

It was hard to stop taking pictures. Then in the Sistine Chapel where they had guards everywhere and emphatically forbade taking photos, I sat down on a bench against the wall and innocently got a shot of the ceiling. That post is still coming.Sherwin Goerlitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15819728977792967305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6273828076210425774.post-6042631634718934572013-08-15T14:12:40.096-07:002013-08-15T14:12:40.096-07:00Now that's an post!

It looks cool at any rate.<br /><br />No mention anywhere in your post of Hanno, the awesome pet elephant of Pope Leo 10, the "party pope" and ML's nemesis. You need more Hanno!<br /><br />Maybe that can be the subject of your first mosaic.. ha ha.Shelbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09181419724632679978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6273828076210425774.post-82361277013813801552013-08-10T20:20:14.650-07:002013-08-10T20:20:14.650-07:00I love that Garbatella Bridge... really cool desig...I love that Garbatella Bridge... really cool design. But who was the architect or engineer? Any ideas who did it? It isn't Calatrava, my favourite Spanish architect we learned of in Venice.Sherwin Goerlitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15819728977792967305noreply@blogger.com
