Getting Mighty Crowded In Rome

Go to Rome. See the sites. Just be prepared to see the sites with many other people. Many, many, many other people.

Head to the Spanish Steps. Just don't expect to climb them, now renamed the Spanish Seats.

Plenty of fine paintings to see in the churches in Rome. And plenty of people. It's amazing, no surface left un-photographed.

The huge Colosseum, crowded.

Trevi fountain, rumored to still contain water. Snapping pics, an extreme sport, passed down from mother to daughter.

St. Peter's, everything to see here, especially the waves of people. Click!

Thank you, Rome, you've been a great host. But our space has been bumped, and it's time to head back to Lithuania and see how the winter's going.

The Divine Light In Rome Churches

With no electricity to power lights, Rome's churches had two options: candles or the sun. Candles are nice, but in a place that's main purpose is to connect with God, it's best to take advantage of what God has given. Let there be light, divine light.

Or the great architects of these religious monuments just knew what they were doing.

Choose your seat and maybe the light will choose you.

Major cathedral, major light. St Peter's and a sculpture room at the Vatican museum.
