Today is the last day in Rome so very bitter sweet. another early day to get as much completed as possible before our 9:50 flight. It started off with another breakfast of Chocolate Croissant and Cappuccino before going off to the Capitoline Museum. The Capitoline Museum is full of art from different eras and is one of the most impressions I have seen.
Remains of the Giant Statue of Constantine
St. George Banner: the oldest silk-and-leather banner known to exist in Italy
The original Marcus Aurelius statue
The Roman emblem: the she-wolf feeding the two founders of Rome
Next it was off to the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and Circus Maximus
Old Roman road
Arch of Septimius Severus
Circus Maximus
After the Roman Forum we headed up to the Pantheon and passed the Santa Maria Sopra Minerva before getting one last Italian pizza. Since the Pantheon was closed for the holiday, we were only able to peer into the the church before we headed off to the Trevi Fountain again. Oh and to get some more gelato.
Inside the Pantheon
After the Trevi Fountain we were off to the Spanish steps, only we ran into a road block, almost literally. As we walked out of the Metro station we started seeing crowds of people and the road blocked off. We decided to stick around for a little bit, and it was a good thing too since it was the Pope who came by!!
After he drove passed us we decided to walk a different way around to get to the steps, the only problem was once we got there we realized that it was where the Pope was giving service for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
More Scaffolding, what the building should look like
We stopped for a quick dinner before heading out for dinner. I will definitely miss all this yummy food.
