Roma

Today I wandered around Rome. I traveled light without a guidebook or my tripod. The only thing I was carrying was a little map I got from the hostel which had some of the sights marked. I found that a lot of the time I didn’t really know what I was looking at in the places I visited. I especially felt like Rome is the sort of place where you need someone or something to tell you the significance of things. After reading my guidebook when I got back to the hostel, I discovered that I had missed things like a Michelangelo in one church and famous frescoes in another. Lots of things in Rome are hidden or maybe just don’t stand out as much because there is so much to see. This is a famous Bernini statue. I didn't take too many pictures today because I didn't know what I was looking at. Rome sure has a lot of big opulent churches.
