Rome 1st Day

  We had a fantastic (if jet-lagged) first day in Rome.  

Trajan's Tower next to the Roman Forum

Trajan's Tower and the Vittoriano

Filling a water bottle at the public fountain

                                               At the Pantheon (after some strong espresso)

Ponte Sisto Fountain, just around the corner from our apartment

The view east into central Rome from the Ponte Sisto (Sisto Bridge)

Following our style, we also veered of course and discovered this incredible courtyard and church called St. Ivo ala Sapienza (copied photos)
