Roma

Rome is unbelieveable. It is like no other place on earth. It helps that we were fortunate enough to rent a penthouse apartment near the Colloseum. Since we are on the top floor of the building, there is a terrace overlooking the ancient city. We watched the sunset last evening gazing at the colloseum, the forum and the dome of St. Peters. I am getting the first set of pictures put on a disc, but I still haven't found a way to upload to the computer in these cafes. I'll keep working on it.

We went to mass last evening at Chiesa di San Clemente. It is a 12th century church built over a 4th century church which was, in turn, built over a 1rst century Roman house containing a temple dedicated to the god Mithras.

Peace.
