Orange and lemon tree in the parking lot of our hotel in Sorrento. We departed Sorrento and drove to Rome.
Braccio Nuovo in the Vatican Museum – collection of over 1000 busts.
More Braccio Nuovo (new wing).
Mosaic on the floor of the Braccio Nuovo
Saint Peter’s dome. We found this view while looking for the cafeteria. Did not visit Saint Peter’s – saved for another trip to Rome.
Details from the hall of maps at the Vatican Museum
A Matisse in the contemporary collection at the museum.
The exit stairwell. We also visited the Sistine Chapel where we experienced a bit of the agony and the ecstasy. But no pictures were allowed, so all we have are faded memories.
Our room at the Hotel Cristoforo Colombo in suburban Rome, complete with our own mosaic.
Can’t go to Italy without sampling gelati. Yum!
