So I thought it'd be cool to document our walks throughout Rome by taking a picture of the streets we walk along to get to the major sights. Amy thought that this wouldn't be so cool, and has proceeded to not let me forget it. However, much to her aggrevation, I've been doing it anyway. But don't worry, I'm not going to bore everyone with all of those, just thought that'd be humorous to share.
So after settling in today, we headed out to see the Pantheon. Along the way, we stopped in this little church that held a Michaelangelo sculpture and Amy made sure that I was aware that I don't use a flash when taking pictures. Lucky for me, the new camera I bought has some awesome lighting assist, so my pictures are turning out great. However, Amy couldn't figure out how to turn the flash on her camera off and she snapped a nice big bright flash right in front of the priest. Luckily, he didn't seem to mind.
So we made it to the Pantheon to find that some restoration work was taking place on some of the outside columns, but that didn't take away from the experience. The engineer in me was pretty dazzled by the architecture of this place. No history lesson here, google it if you want. Got a couple of pics, including me cheesing in front of the Oculus (huge hole in the roof), that is completely open. Given that it was raining, rain basically just pours down into the center of the Pantheon and drains out through ancient holes in the floor. Pretty cool stuff.
