Slightly rainy day but not awful. Took subway this morning- had to switch at the main station-Termini but the entire "subway line was closed all day. We ended up walking more than planned. Wen to St Pietro in Vincoli (St Peter in the Chains). They have the chains that St Peter was locked up in when in prison. They built the Church to house the chains. The picture above is the Ceiling.
The statue of Moses has horns. Misinterpretation from some old scripture apparently made this happen.
Inside the Colosseum
Hard to imagine this structure in its heyday 2000 years ago.
Walking through the Palatine area. This area was thought to be some gardens or exhibition grounds.
Bill hosting the tour (notice all the followers)
Walking through the Roman Forum
Visited Basilica of St. Clemente (no cameras allowed inside). Took the tour down 2 levels to 2 previous churches found underneath- one on top of another. The bottom level was a Mithraic Temple
Now would a real "Saint" be doing that?? Give him one small bottle of wine at lunch and he thinks you should be kneeling down to him.
