To continue our trip back to Italy,
a short stop at the Pantheon and the Piazza della Rotanda in Rome.

ReplyDeleteI agree! Beautiful pics of an ancient and wonderful city :) My Mom's favourite travel destination in Europe was always Rome :)

The Pantheon is quite impressive! And I like the detailed photo with the painting and the windows.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by earlier for Touch the Gear review - one of the fun things about blogging is introducing people to new things. Hope you can stop back for our WW :)
Wow! Great shots! I was just there with my husband in November. Makes me want to go back so badly!

Nice photos! Now that's what I call a perfect location for the hotel - it must have costed you a fortune!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome to check out a report from my recent trip to Rome at my blog (if you haven't done so already).
no, actually, for a major city, it was pretty reasonable. must thank the bro for finding it!
DeleteWow! It sure looks majestic!
ReplyDeleteI agree I think Majestic is an apt word love the photos ;-)
ReplyDeleteCaite you had a beautiful view from your hotel. I love the night shot! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteWow! I just love the colors in the view from your hotel!
ReplyDeleteI just love old European cities. The closest I've come to this one is a foam sculpture of the Pantheon that my son and I had to do for his history class a couple of years ago.
ReplyDeleteI think the original might be a little better..maybe.
DeleteGreat images! I especially like the night shot
ReplyDeleteLovely photos -- I was especially drawn to the top one of the Pantheon. Thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! I was only able to spend an afternoon in Rome, and would really like to go back and have more time there.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo from the window of your room in the Albergo del Senato, which hotel was the result of the efforts of your brother- the compulsive travel planner.
ReplyDeleteA hotel I would happily recommend.
DeleteVery awesome view, haven't seen before .
ReplyDeleteMy entry is here.
Amazing pictures. Someday I'll make it there. Happy WW.
