Pantheon

Although we did pass here on Monday it was too late to get in. The Pantheon made a fitting end to our tour of Rome. There's always more to see but in the end we did get to all the sites I'd hoped for. The Pantheon also made a cool place to rest while Katarina caught up with some game playing on her DS. Considering all the reports of heat waves we've been very lucky with the weather. It's been hot but by no means oppressive. The shade has always been cool enough and there's been plenty of it especially thanks to the abundance of churches. Having now been in Italy for six days we've also become accustomed to the rules of pedestrian travel. There are no pedestrian lights here, you just push your way out to the traffic and cars stop. Sometimes it's a miracle there aren't bodies strewn across the streets.
