| Hmmm, where are we now? |
We’ve been to Rome a few times now, but Sandra found some
new things she wanted to see. One specifically is San Pietro in Chains,
 |
| St Peters Chains |
a
cathedral that has an altar created by Michaelangelo of Moses that is stunning,
plus a cabinet under the main altar holds the chains that bound Saint Peter in Jerusalem
and Rome after Christ’s death

and while he was being persecuted by the Romans.
I on the other hand wanted to see the Trevi Fountain,
 |
| The Pantheon |
lit at
sunset, but my hopes were dashed when we learned while travelling that it is
under refurbishment. Actually much of the
ancient sites are going through refurb, right now, and some things just aren’t
being maintained due to the austerity measures in Italy.

The Spanish steps are under refurb as well as the Coliseum.

And as we walked through Circus Maximus we noticed a huge
stage being set-up for June 22, when the Rolling Stones perform in Rome.
