History on every corner
I had an amazing history lesson last night. It went something like this: Get in a car, drive to downtown Rome, walk down a small cobbled street, turn a corner: The Pantheon. A quick look inside (they were closing). Back down another narrow street, turn the next corner: Piazza Navona. Back down the next street - Palazzo Farnese. And this went on for about an hour. Then we all got back into the car and headed somewhere else for a late Italian evening meal which lasted from about 9pm to midnight. On our trip to the restaurant we drove past the Colosseum. Already I know I must come back with more "tourist time".
Update: Andrew put some quick moblog shots up.
