Roma

The Trevi fountain.  A life goal realized for Renee.

Oh, did I mention that part of the goal was to eat gelatto there?  It was divine.  Renee's favorites were cherry combined with chocolate or pistachio all by itself.  Dane prefers the fruits like Melon, Strawberry and Lemon.

I'm pretty sure you can figure out where this one is.  It's a neat feeling to actually be inside that building.

Some original wall decoration from more than 2000 years ago.  It was neat to see high fashion from that time.  Although it didn't look a day over seventy-five.

The Pantheon.  With modern building materials a dome like this would crumble under its own weight.

We finally figured out where Dane gets his curly hair.  It's from ancient Greeks.  At least we think this was a Greek statue... It didn't say.  Or maybe it's just a couple years old, and Dane forgot to tell me that he used to pose for sculptors.

The Vatican museums were amazing.  Their artwork is not hung on walls, but rather is painted directly onto the walls or, as in this case, on the ceiling.
