What a great time we had in Rome! We rented an apartment just north of the Piazza Popolo, and spent the whole time in Rome, wandering from church to gelateria to museum to trattoria. Here's a view of St. Peters - oh, that Renaissance symmetry!
One of the best parts of our trip was meeting up with my Italian sister, M, and her husband, A. M lived with us my senior year of high school and then I went home with her to Milan for the summer after we graduated. Unfortunately we lost track of each other, and when I tracked her down about a year ago I discovered that she'd gotten married and had three kids! They were kind enough to make the trip down to Rome and spent about 4 days with us. It was fantastic catching up again.
We're all sitting in front of the Quattro Fiumi (Four Rivers) fountain, designed by Bernini. Oh, Bernini! Madonna, did we see some beautiful artwork. My favorite Berninis, of course, are The Ecstasy of St. Teresa and his David. We also saw just about every Caravaggio in Rome (might have missed one or two), which I will review for your edification in the coming days.
