Walked our feet off on our one day here. Visited at least 6 of the 88 churches working around their various openings, closings including weddings. Most interesting archeological museums with many artifacts going back to prehistory. Special meaning were those found in ares were we have been touring the last week. Ducked out of rainstorm into a pizzeria for the first pizza here. The photo is the remains of the Roman Amphitheater from 1st century part of a main square near the hotel. Also saw an exhibit on the design of 1960 amphitheater built in Rome for the Olympics in a special tribute to Italian architect Pier Luigi Nervi.
This began as a log of travels as I explored with small motorhome, as well as traveled to Europe. Now using Chicago as a base, I continue to travel both in the US and Europe via automobile (now a Subaru Outback) as well as flying to destinations.
