Colosseum, Palatine Hill, Typewriter, Pantheon, Piazza Navona

Tuesday we  rode the metro to the Colosseum and began our tour of Rome.






Next we walked over to Palatine Hill where all of the Roman Senators lived.







Then we roamed trough the Forum

 The Romans walked on these Cobble stones








 As we were walking around the corner to the Typewriter there was this guy sitting there.  Kind of cool.
 A group of street performers were behind their trailer getting dressed, so we decided to sit down and wait for them.  after about 15 minutes three witches on stilts began to dance around the crowd while their support guy pushed around a load music system.

Finally we walked several more blocks to Piazza Navona.

 This Piazza is know for three large fountains



 It was Epiphany and there were loads of Italians out in the streets celebrating the holiday.  This gal is dressed up as the Bufana or Christmas Witch that visits the homes of good boys and girls on Epiphany to give them candy and gifts.

 We found a great place to eat - I had smoked Salmon Risotto - YUM YUM


Lots of crowds in the Piazza
