The Eternal City

View full size

The bumpy Air One flight from London City airport to Rome Fiumicino did not give me a clue of what was ahead. A group of us from England (around 20 in all) were to be together over the next week, taking in the sights and sounds of the Italian capital. We stayed at I Gigli della Montagna, a hotel run by nuns north of the center. I shared a room with Virginia and Jayne, both of whom I had known from my autumn stay in London.

Roma. I've never seen a lovelier city.

More photos to come. No time to color-correct, just had to trim down 600+ photos to 200 to fit Flickr (will upload soon), then just selected even fewer still for the blog posts. Grazie to everyone who left comments the other week. :)
