Old Town Rome

After leaving the church, we walked on ahead.....into biblical times it would seem. Taking pictures doesn't do it justice, but these should give you an idea:























































Yes...I was there...and it was H-O-T!!! If I ever go back to Rome, I won't be going in August. Not only is August the height of the tourist season, but it is also the hottest time of the year there. All of us were baking. Walking 10 blocks in the heat of the day felt like miles! In this picture, you can see me holding an umbrella. That actually brought some relief from the glare of the sun.





I'm sure that you can just imagine how wonderful and appealing fresh juicy fruit would seem when you're in the heat of the day.
