Over quite an exciting and extended weekend at the end of in November, Gina and I spent five really enjoyable days in Rome. Though one day was work related, we were able to take in some very memorable sites; from the Vatican museum, Colosseum, Palatine, Circus Maximus, the Pantheon, Trajan’s Column, Forum, Market place, and many others, but far too numerous to mention here. We also spent two wonderful and fun evenings with my work colleagues, who came all the way to Italy, from many countries, as far afield as Canada.

Earlier I found Gina, just outside the Colosseum, demonstrating her skills of swordplay with some Centurion friends of hers !
