Ok, Pantheon doors. Note they're closed because I got there too late to get in.

It's dark and I didn't get inside. I only missed the closing by about 20 minutes.

Don't remember the name of this building, but I liked it.

This is me heading back to the coliseum. I leave Rome the next morning.

Coliseum at night

It's pretty cool

I finally got the hang of the camera timer here

More fun with the timer

I couldn't believe how much graffiti there was in Rome, on the walls and on the metro.

Leaving Colosseo metro stop on the blue line to head to the EUR Fermi stop and the house I was staying at
IMG_3626.JPG
This is the house I stayed at, though you really can't see it. It's behind the gate here.

Ah, Florence. I totally dug the Duomo.

This picture is cool because of the perfectly placed bicyclist.

Students were protesting something, I don't know what. But they were very animated.
IMG_3632.JPG
You can't really see all the dancing going on.
IMG_3633.JPG
Tried to get the banner to see what it was all about. Still have no idea.

In the courtyard of the Uffizi museum. There's a long line to enter on the right (even if you already have a reservation).
IMG_3635.JPG
Many statues in the courtyard, I took this shot of Galileo (on the left).

Me looking out over the river in Florence.

Inside the Duomo
IMG_3638.JPG
I liked the outside better.
IMG_3641.JPG
But it was still pretty impressive looking.
IMG_3642.JPG
My attempt at the famous dome.
IMG_3645.JPG
It's essentially empty, which was a bit strange to me.

The Baptistry doors across the piazza from the Duomo.

Me at Ponte Vecchio
IMG_3649.JPG
Piazza by the Uffizi with some impressive sculptures.
IMG_3650.JPG
Yep, I'm there. Though I blocked the statue I was trying to get in the background.

I just stumbled onto this very cool exhibit of Leonardo DaVinci designs.
