2. Snow had stopped. However, the air was pretty frigid and there were still patches of snow and ice on the walkways. It took much concentration to stay warm.
3.Roman sites require lots of information processing. Now that we have been to the colonies far and wide, Rome is ever more relevant.
The one reprieve is that we didn't have to struggle with hordes of other tourists. By the looks of things, there are already plenty. I hate to even imagine what summer would be like.
Our first full day in Rome. There was snow on the ground and it was cold. Here's the Roman Forum.
Ian and I in Piazza Navona. I am literally "freezing my ass off."
Even the locals were taking pics of frozen fountains.

Day Two: Still very cold but we spend most of the day in the Vatican Museum and St. Peter's.

Day Three: Warmer but still pretty darn cold. We visit the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and the Colosseo; plus several of Rome's major churches. First, the Roman Forum.
Looking through the Roman Forum towards the Arch Of Titus and the Colosseo.
And looking the other way towards Capitoline Hill.
The Stadium on Palatine Hill.
