Travel Diaries: Rome-the Historical

I recently had a business trip to Rome.  I spent most of my time there in meetings, but I had a little bit of time to do some sightseeing.  I visited some of the places that were most memorable to me from a previous visit: Villa Borghese with it's stunning Bernini's (unfortunately, no cameras allowed, so no pictures), the ancient Coliseum, majestic Piazza Venezia, Piazza Navona, Fontana di Trevi--not to mention just walking through the picturesque streets of Rome, observing the rhythms and flavors of Roman life.

I bought a new camera before the trip, so needless to say, I took almost a thousand pictures--edited way down here.  These pictures are the Historical sights I experienced while in Rome.

The Coliseum

 This was walking down the street (pictured above) from the Coliseum.  Not sure specifically what it is, but he looks like Caesar.

Piazza Venezia

Piazza Navona

Fontana di Trevi

The Vatican

In addition to my new Canon 60D, I purchased the Camera+ app for iPhone.  You can see the fun I had adjusting the photos and adding different frames--you can tell which ones are my favorites.

My husband met me in Rome and we continued on to Venice.  So expect to see lots more pics of the trip!
