11/21/2004 Another Day in Rome! The Colossium, and old Roman Stuff.

(these are my fragmented notes from the time...sorry if they suck)

My Plan for day two...

Pantheon to

piazza venezia

to capital hill museums maybe

check out the underground passage to the tabularium

back door to forum?

forum

coleseum

(or do it backwards and have lunch in the pantheon->trevi fountain alley)

Lunch...(that seems way ambitous!)

metro to train station

ATAC 110 bus tour

Cappucin Cruypt

Borghese museum

....that is all I want for tomorrow :-).

What actually happened...

Coleseum

Palatine hill

forum

mediocre lunch

pantheon-wonderful

gellati! wonderful

tried to go to cappucin...failed because it was closed

Borshese-fantastic

got lost trying to get back...finally took a bus.

looked at pictures at the hotel

went to dinner down the street-best meal so far.

great great sex! I mean, great sex.

Incredibly tired out legs!

The Coleseum made passion bubble inside. There was an exhibit, something like 'The city in the present of the Past' or somesuch, that seemed like a post-processional view of the archeology of ancient rome, and how it integrates with the present.

The outer ring was closed off into an exhibit space with a long screen weaving around like a ribbon. Movies and slides were projected onto this ribbon from both sides, so sometimes you could read text, and other times the text was in reverse, so you could read it from the other side. Funny, it was the most moving part of the colloseum to me, and I didn't take a picture...the catalog for the exhibit was for sale in the book shop, but it was only in Italian. It included shots of excavating something old during WWII. Mussilinni was trying to connect the power of Italy in the 20th century with the power of Imperial Rome...or something.

We wandered to the Forum, but first ended up at a convent at the top of the hill, dead ending. I recorded the sounds of birds. then we went up the palatine hill. Both were beautiful, but probably lead to a bit of footsoreness by the Borghese!

Of note...there is an alter to Julius Ceaser marking the spot where he was cremated. There is a mound there, and there are flowers on it...people bring flowers to Ceaser.

We took the metro to the colleseum. You walk out of the station and BOOM! You are there. We tourned the colleseum, up to a convent, up palatine hill, through the forum, up capital hill, down to the pantheon, across past trevi fountain again, up to the capuccin crypts...all on foot. Then a bus to sort of near the borghese, and then 2 hours in the borghese...that was almost, but not quite, enough time. Then a long time being lost, and a 20 minute wait in the cold for a bus. Tuesday night, jumping ahead in our narrative, heather bought gloves in Florence while I checked email, but she didn't have them yet, and she was frozen! Bus back...collapse...rest a bit, then out to dinner then our great sex and bed!

The Pantheon was another big win! One detail of overheard conversation. An older Italian gentleman, talking to what seemed like friends. "Italy had four kings before it became a Republic. the first emmanual... is buried here, and his son was...and is buried on the other side."

The first two kings of Italy are buried in the Pantheon...and so is botticelli? ruben? Someone...who was then disinterred a hundred or two years later to just check up on him...there is a painting of that process.
