more Italy

this is another view of the magnificent San Francesco Cathedral at Assisi. There are 2 complete, ornate, decorated with frescos, paintings and statues, churches here, one on top of the other. And tho it was raining hard, the crowds of people going in and waiting to go in, were huge.



the street where our B and B (Palloma Hotel) was located



another street in Assisi



In Rome, at the Borghese Palace estate, where we walked for hours. The museum we wanted to see there had reservations through the next week and we were disappointed to not be able to go in there. Jim really wanted to see Bernini's "David"..

one of the many columns and "decorations" around the grounds of the Borghese Estate


this is the view from our room at the B&B in Rome... which is actually lots nicer looking than our room. The room did, however, have a private bath with nice shower. This B&B was actually 4 bedrooms in a large apartment building, the breakfast being a "pass" to breakfast at the corner cafe, which was a favorite spot of the locals.
