I really wanted to take it easy today, my body is still tired from yesterday's marathon of walking, but I feel guilty staying inside on such a beautiful day. Did I mention that it has been sunny and in the mid 70's since I got here? I have a great farmer tan!
Landlord Luca suggests I go to the Capitoline Museum so I can take my time and not have to walk all over creation. And then I see what I thought was the entrance - - - are you kidding me???
Luckily I was wrong, this is the entrance to a church next door to the museum.
I didn't go into that church...
Here is the entrance to the museum.
Holy mother of my old lady knees - really? REALLY???
Me and my knees took our time and made it to the top, only to find the museum was made up of 4 floors. Elevator? What elevator? Thank goodness for those little blue pills - called Aleve...
Here again there is beauty in every corner of every room - too many photos to post, but here are a few to satisfy your curiosity.
Venus
The Capitoline she-wolf nursing Remus & Romulus
Marcus Aurelius
And a statue that just can't seem to pull himself together...
After another long day of walking and steps, and then some more walking and steps and yet more walking and steps, I decided it was time to head home. So I climbed down all those steps, walked up another hill, then around the corner and I found my landmark. Home isn't to far now, just on the other side of that building with the dome....
Ahhh - made it. And now Pedro and I get our just reward!
