Day One ...

Here we are in Rome. We keep having to remind ourselves that we are here within the 'Eternal City'. And what a remarkable place it is! We had a packed day yesterday after getting off the plane. Here are just some of the photos ...

Isabel and Grace at the site of the ancient Roman chariot races.


Outside the Colosseo!


Off the bus and who do we run into?? Il Papa!
Pope Benedict in St Peter's Square.

Will post more this afternoon.

Here are some more shots of where we have been and what we have seen...
