Pictures from Rome

The Original B&B (where the guy made me find another place)

My hotel room on the far outskirts of Rome...but it's pretty darn nice.

Flavia and I standing on the balcony of the hotel in the outskirts of Rome. Bright sunshine!

These didn't upload in the right order, but oh well... this is the altar inside St. Peter's basilica, looking up into the lantern of the dome. Note the Dove of the Holy Spirit and the wood-in-bronze tapestry-like decoration. Exquisite, no?

In front of the National Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II in Piazza Venezia

Flavia in front of two of her favorite places: Zara and McDonald's*!

Flavia and I in a place that she simply referred to as, "Pincio"

American Embassy - I got in trouble from Flavia for taking this because I apparently wasn't taking enough pictures, and I decided to take a picture of this as we passed by. Oops!

Colosseum at dusk! Gorgeous - if only I had been able to get a picture of it at night while on the moto (see below for my failed attempt)

Molly, John, and I shoved against the wall at the cool little pizza place where we ate for my last night in Rome

Fail (trying to photograph the Colosseum at night - we were stopped at a traffic light)

*Not actually one of Flavia's favorite places
