I have always been fascinated with Rome. The chariot races in the Circus Maximus, the gladiator battles in the Colosseum. The persecution of Christians, and the eventual adoption of Christianity. Caesar’s palace and Vatican City. The emperor, the Pope, and Michelangelo. A city that once controlled most of the known world, and an empire that fell.
This city has always been a mild obsession of mine, and last week, I was finally able to satisfy that obsession with a week-long jaunt within its walls. I wanted to update my blog while on vacation in Rome, but alas, I was too busy taking in the city to write about the city. However, now that I’m back and have all the pictures loaded on my computer, I hope to update my blog every few days with pictures and reflections from the trip. I hope you enjoy them.
