Sarcastic answer: All I know is it wasn't built in a day. That's all I know.

Real answer: Mark Hobson was just telling me about his trip there. He could probably give you some info.

I was there in 1987 via USN. A friend and I got a walking tour sheet with directions and walked around and saw a lot of stuff. It was very interesting. I see sights in movies sometimes of the places I was able to see in person. And I have a lot of nice pics to remember the visit. We even had an audience with the Pope, JPII. Saw the coliseum, trevi fountain, forum and more.

I'm sure Brian Van Deventer could fill you in. You guys know one another right?

[Gerald Creasy]

I'd feel cheated if I didnt see:

The Scala Sancta
The Pieta
Michaelangelos Moses at San Pietro in Vincoli
And somehow I'd get up to Milan to see Davincis Last Supper

[Susie Hamilton]

I did see the Pieta.

My Italian is very bad and I don't know the names that well of the tourist areas. Some of the places I liked was The Spanish Stairs, all around the Colosseum and the ruins around it, the Pantheon, the Catacombs, The Vatican also. Just remember to wear pants or you cannot enter St Peter's Basilica, but there are some guys you can rent some pants from for about $20. All the water fountains are also impressive.

Here are some of the pictures I took, when I was there.

Yep again. Rob showed me several photos of his trip and I sooo wanted to go with that day.

He is a cell phone junkie/text and his was useless there - something to think about it you are addicted to being connected.
