Mary's first attempt at a self-portrait in Piazza del San Pietro	Getting a little better at it	Took this one for Irma (her last name is Stefanini)
The Spanish Steps, stairs that go to no place particular	Looking down the street across from the Spanish Steps	A better self-portrait. The band on the steps was pretty good.
Trevi Fountain, very cool	And very big	Self-portrait, not so good
The fountain was by Bernini, who was an amazing sculpturer I'd never heard of prior to this trip.	It's supposed to be good luck to throw coins in, backwards over your head. And I admit I did it, though not on this day.	The Coliseum
These guys posed for pictures for a price. They were pretty entertaining.	Some arch by the coliseum	Me by the arch I can't name
I took a walk around the coliseum to get a different view.	The Roman Forum.	Yep, I'm here
It was cool to look at, but I really wasn't that interested.	I'm at the top of a hill (can't remember the name) where you got a good view of the ruins.	This building is right next to the ruins.
The point of this picture was to catch the trees. These pine trees (the ones with just the green top and long trunk) are all over Rome.	Walking through the ruins	Different angle for a self-portrait
Two guys with bikes. I took pictures of all the bikes I saw in Rome, since everyone said it was crazy to bike there. I don't think it would have been that bad.	Inside the coliseum	I'm there
I'm not sure what the platform is for, but it seems to give an idea of what it might have looked like a long time ago.	Trying to imagine it filled with people	It was pretty relaxing
