Day 12
Saturday October 5
I took the morning off to catch up and rest up, having lunch at the AAR. The person on the left, Professor Joe Z from Cornell, who is staying in Rome for a month. Joe was the first person that Werner Seligman hired when he arrived at Syracuse, meaning Joe and i crossed paths 38 years ago. On the left is Reyonld Reynolds, an AAR Fellow in filmaking. Google him.
Fredye then arrived late that afternoon for her visit to Italy
We began with a tour of the AAR beginning with its vegatable gardens. Look at this bird on the faucet.......
Then a walk into the City, beginning with Trastevere of course
A small church on the walk down the hill
Butterfly's for sale
Night crossing of the Tiber
Many of the churches were open and having Mass
Piazza Navonna and the Pantheon look quite different in the evening - they all glow
Day 13

Sunday October 6
The next morning brought another walk into the city
Pasta being made
Pallazzo's to see
Coffee to drink at the sign of the Elk - on the floor of the cafe
and on the adjacent church
Carravagio
A small church and a talk with the Priest after Mass
Back to see Kyle's elephant
and some ruins in the center part of the city - three temples, round square and rectangular
Beautiful small machines to move around in
To the Capitloline Hill and the Campidoglio
Where one can view the Forum, even though the Campidolgio turned its back on the Pagan past to focus on the new city and St Peters
Into the Capitolini Musei - an amazing collection of art and history
The view of Michaelangelo's stepped ramp from the Capitolini Museum
More Carravagios
Through a space UNDER the Campidolgio that connects the two flanking buildings..........
.......which is full of sculpture
Then a walk back to the AAR
Past the Synagouge where these dudes were waiting...........
............for a huge wedding to start
and then back up the hill.............
