Day 3 Rome / morning sightseeing/ afternoon at leisure This morning
our first stop is the largest church in Christendom - St. Peter's
Basilica. We marvel at Michelangelo's Pieta and Bernini's amazing
bronze canopy. Next we enjoy a panoramic city tour viewing Castel
St. Angelo and Largo Argentina - where Julius Caesar met his fate
at the hands of the seven hills in Rome, the Capitoline - home of
Jupiter, Marcello's Theater and the Jewish Ghetto. We are awed by
the view of the ancient Imperial Palaces atop the Palantine Hill
overlooking the Circus Maximus, where the Rape of the Sabines occurred.
We're back on the foot to view the Arch of Titus and one of the
best preserved Roman structures - the Arch of Constantine. You'll
almost hear the roar of the lions as we enter the Colosseum and
imagine the brutal entertainment of the Romans. Next we view the
Roman Forum, Trajan's Column and the astounding "Wedding Cake"
Monument to Victor Emmanuel in Piazza Venezia. What an exciting
experience! American Breakfast
