C.O., Mr. L., and Mrs.P. on the bridge across the Tiber River leading to Castel Sant Angelo. Shadows and sunglasses - another lovely weather day. (Sir, can we take a taxi back?)
The Castel Sant Angelo. The earlier photo of the Victor Emmanuel monument was taken from the level just at the feet of the highest angel on the castle. This building began as the tomb of Roman Emperor Hadrian, and later was turned into an operational fort. The paseto was a protected passage that runs from the left side of the castle to the Vatican and if Rome were to be attacked, the Pope would be taken quickly along the paseto to the protection of the fort. Now the castle is a museum and gallery.
The MCSS folks - flag in hand - at the foot of the Spanish Steps in Rome.
Looking along the Tiber River towards the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica at night.
