Roma

One of Todd's favourite cities.  After all he is an architect and the architecture is second to none.  Liam also wanted to go to Rome and see the Colosseum.  Emily found her second Brandy Melville.  Me, I was looking for some authentic Italian tiramisu.

First evening in Rome.  Our apartment was about a 15 minute walk away.







The next morning we toured through the Colosseum

Where the lions ran through



Pinocchio store

Todd's favourite building - the Pantheon







Gelato - an irate customer and clerk at this gelato store; they were arguing over one euro

Dinner; these two glasses were knocked over by a couple of Canadian kids.  Good thing the wine was caught before it rolled off the table.

St. Peter's Basillica







A person waiting to confess.  The kids were quite interested in the concept.
