Capitoline Museum

 We went on to the Capitoline Museums and this was interesting to see again when I can now recognize most of the pieces from my Greek and Roman art history class.  Not only do I have the knowledge from the class now, but I have the professor with me, which 

helps when you have questions.  I have some favorite pieces from here that are spectacular, but most impressive was the view of the forum from the veranda that John took pictures of with every filter on the camera.  Some worked very well and others not so well, we’ll stick to the ones  that were good.  I got to spend some time with the Dying Gaul and John and I were able to catch a bus back to the area of the hotel because my feet are killing me.  I kept saying that I can’t see the seven hills that 

Rome is supposed to be built on, but my legs can see them as we go up and down every damn street in this town.  So, sitting on the bus is a win for me right now. 
After cleaning up some, we took everyone down to the Piazza Navona for the evening.  We let them loose for gelato and spent some time walking around the square, going in stores, getting chilly because the nights in Rome are surprisingly chilly and I’m thinking

that a sweatshirt might be in order, but there is still another suitcase that we have not opened that I think has warmer things in it.  We have been using the smaller suitcase so far, and hawk eyed people will start to spot the redundancy in our outfits before too long since we only have two suitcases for two months.
