Favorite Thing: Well, I guess the single most important site I would take someone in Rome would have to be the Colosseum..............simply because most people think of Rome and the Colosseum in the same thought. There is a kind of atmosphere there that is not found in other places (or is it just me). I could hardly take my eyes off the innards of the monument and could just about hear the screams and shouts of those involved in any of the activities that were conducted there. I guess it ultimately ended in death for many people and animals..............maybe that's what lingers here. BUT........ a very impressive building none-the-less.
Fondest Memory: My first trip to Rome (1998) saw my daughter meet up with us .......... she was doing a worldwind tour of x number of European countries in x number of weeks and landed in Rome the day before we met up. It was lovely to share the day with her (so far away from our homes) and interesting to have her also trying to figure out what all of the old rocks were.

Favorite Thing: The Castel S Angelo definitely gets my vote for an important site to visit. Maybe it is that because it is so close to S. Peters that people might be either to anxious to get there, or too tired to continue having been there. So maybe the idea would be to set aside the day to really look at this monument.
Fondest Memory: It is really hard to say what I miss most away from Rome because there is so much that I have enjoyed there and much that I would still like to see and do.

Favorite Thing: St Peter's Square would have to be among those sites that I would consider to be a must see, and I would definitely take them there given opportunity.
Fondest Memory: So many memories, dreams, fantasies and photographic opportunities...........all are missed when I am not in Rome.

Favorite Thing: Although in Italy nearly 5 months in 1998, I didn't make it to St Peter';s Square and in 2001 I almost missed it again.......How come? Well on the first occasion that I got to that part of Rome I was overtaken by an urge to visit Castel S Angelo...........which after all is just down the street. Well why didn't I go then......well it was because I spent so much time in the Castle that in order to catch the last bus in Formia, I needed to catch a specific train to connect.
Fondest Memory: I was absolutely dumb founded at the first sight of S Peters and probably didn't do the area photographic justice, but anyway.................

volopolo Fri Mar 28, 2008 23:55 UTC The famous ancient city in Europe! | TheWanderingCamel Sat Nov 17, 2007 01:45 UTC Enjoyed your take on Rome and off the cuff commentary. A week next year loks as though it should be stretched to a month if I'm to do and see all the things that interest me. leyle | Carmela71 Sat Sep 29, 2007 21:31 UTC It has been nearly 26 years since I have been in rome and hope to get a long weekend break I only visited CAstle S angelo from outside | kokoryko Fri May 25, 2007 19:34 UTC I liked the colosseum aspects travellogue Carole. And as usual, I like the way you look at buildings, at the city, at history. I never visited Castel Sant'Angelo, may be I will have to do one day; it seems it is one of your favourites on this planet. |
