The Angeli bridge, on the way to the Vatican.	The window in my hotel room - liked the colors here a lot.	The first thing I did in Rome was grab a sandwich and a hat and go snag a spot under this tree -- the only one in the palace ruins. Spent a few hours there, writing and watching people.	An Egyptian obelisk at the top of the Spanish steps.
The Lateran, where the Pope keeps his chair.	St. Peter's, from a distance.	Sunset from the top of the Spanish steps. Everyone in town seemed to be up there that night watching this.	Street scene.
Soldiers on parade in the Villa Borghese park.	Sid, drawing.	A nun at St. Peters, feeding the pigeons.	The park at Villa Borghese - we spent a couple of afternoons laying around on these big grassy lawns watching people go by.
A young girl plays with the pigeons at St. Peters while the Vatican guard looks on.	The villa behind our hotel.	A horse and carraige prepare for a busy day in the quiet morning hours at the Spanish steps.	The colosseum from Palantine hill. In reality there are no trees anywhere near it, but I like how rustic and hidden this picture makes it look.
Sunset shot - St. Peters is the smaller dome in the distance.	A building near our hotel at the top of the steps.	Taken straight up while lying on the ground beneath some of these beautiful umbrella pines - which was really the only sane way to spend the hot hours of the afternoon.	Piazza Navona, which was a good place to go and have breakfast and on the way to the market, to boot.
