The backside of the Monumento Victoria Emmanule II


One more pic of Monumento Victoria Emmanule II
We are seeing a lot but when you open Rick Steve's guidebook and see 15 other things described just in the general vicinity where you are, it can be discouraging. Still I like our way of sightseeing - pick a general destination (the Pantheon) and wander towards it with your eyes wide open. Being lost you locate yourself on the map, see what's near, and wander on again. We wound up accidently taking in a big chunk of Rick Steve's meticulously planned "Night Walking Tour" and saved all that planning time. In two more days we'll join the tour and be grateful, I think, that we don't have to make our way alone to Pompeii, Capri, Florence. etc. where the "wander method" would be out of its depth.
