First day at FAO today. An overview, and an online-security training. I gave myself enough time to walk there, and then ended up with spare time, so I walked around the building a bit. This poster is one of two hanging on the front facade. You can sign the petition here, please. The building is surrounded by a tall fence and looked rather ominous. I spoke to security and had to be escorted into the building and up 6 flights of stairs to the "c" wing. It was a good day; more on FAO later.
My walk home was spectacular. It began with these fine arches
followed by this (I haven't looked up the official name yet), which is on one side of the
colosseum, below.
The ruins go on forever, as do the tourists in all shades and nationalities.
Ended with two nice sets of stairs.
Them's some brilliant arches. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAwe! the arch of constantine, palatine hill and the forum- I love Rome!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for your adventure. I wish I could be there, we could stroll and share stories. Please go see San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane, its my favorite church. Love ya and be safe!
Did you get to the best part of the UN security training, where they tell you to not replicate driving maneuvers you've seen in James Bond movies? I felt much safer after that! phew.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics!
