Santa Maria Maggiore

We proceeded on, tired, museumed-out, but, hey, this was
possibly our last tourist day in Rome for a while; here we
are passing 1/4 of the Four Fountains, still in the Quirinal;
I think

Passing by the Allegory of the Bank of Italy (1921); a lot of water has passed
under that bridge...

We thought we might follow the brothers to McDonald's

Or even dinner at Diocletian's Baths; but we were too tired
for watered down wine

Walked past symphony hall and Nero...it was a 20,000 step day, but we were
determined

And ended up at Santa Maria Maggiore, another of the Papal churches Vicki
wanted to see, with its 5th century mosaics

Thus; darkly

Another great mosaic arch

Silver-covered Crib of Jesus down there, they say
