The bus passed right by the Pyramide, a monument put up by an emperor or general in the later Empire |
Interestingly, one does see Mussolini's name here and there |
And everywhere in the old city, there are plots well below street level, filled with ruins |
This one, the "Sacred Area of Largo Argentina," is a whole city block; four temple ruins |
We have become far more discriminating about whom we ask for directions; Vicki figured these ladies might know which bus went to Vatican City |
The bus they recommended took us right to St. Peter's |
And after another walk, the Vatican Museums, and, no lines! |
Finally, we're in, stopping at the first of many, many gift stores |
