I think the Romans used this place, and the "entertainment" that occurred there, as a way to control the masses...

I think seeing the crocus peak through this week made me happier than anything else this long winter. Mind boggling – on how grateful I was to see Rome and the spring crocus.

I laughed out loud at the analogy! Then I saw the picture, and I could see exactly where you were coming from. Fantastic pictures, as always!!! And you make me want to do some travelling! “On a par with today’s new Dallas Cowboys stadium”? I laughed out loud at the analogy!

So glad you are finally enjoying some sunshine. "A warm hug from above" is exactly what it feels like here today, too. Enjoy!

Cara has been giving me updates on your adventures and now I have your blog address to read as well. I enjoyed going back to read your posts, back to long before we met in the church, and they are absolutely delightful. Right after we returned home, I found A Warming Trend through Dan and I enjoy The Man's poetry very much. And now I have found you as well! Thank you for stopping by...

Then, Jack and I ran into Cara and Dan on the train ride south to Naples...on the day you were supposed to be flying home. Anyway, Cara forwarded your blog info to me and I'm so happy she did. Your photos are beautiful and I have enjoyed reading your impressions of Rome. I'm always learning more about this place and find others' impressions so interesting. I also wanted to say that your previous blog with the harmonica player, Buddy somebody, is just incredible. Thank you so much for posting it. In fact, I am going to link him on my own blog. I think everyone should see that guy go. I look forward to reading more on your site. Ciao! Hi Jane,
