So what is my lasting memory of Rome?
I honestly don't know!
Could it be ....
Michaelangelo 
The Monuments
The Monuments
The statues 
The ancient passages
The Spanish Steps(so disappointing on the first night and so atmospheric on the last)
The Vatican City
The Roof Gardens
The Colosseum
The Art
The piles of Roman Marble(probably museums have been started with less)
The Market where we bought fresh apricots
The Scooters
The queues
The Street Vendors selling Panini and Bibete
The Spiral Staircase in the Vatican Museum
The Traffic
The Fountains
The Ceilings
The Cobbles
The Birds
The Domes
Walking beside the River under the trees
The Forum
The Plants
Or the Ice Cream - il gelato - the best I have ever tasted :-)
Before I left I was worried about pickpockets. It was important to keep our belongings safe but we did not experience any problems. We always asked how much things were before agreeing to buy
'quanto costa' - how much is it?
I am very pleased that I had the chance to visit Rome and I hope to go again one day.
L'Italia e molto bella

What an absolutely wonderful post! I love your photos, your captions, and really sensed the enjoyment you and HG experienced! Definitely a trip with memories to last a lifetime. So glad you had such a lovely time.
You really managed to fit a lot into the time you spent there. I love the photos. Perhaps I'll be lucky enough to see it myself one day..
Thank you, Deb. We certainly will remember our time in Rome :-)
Hello Sheila, yes, we always try to see as much as we can, after all we may never go back again :-) and I am afraid of missing something :-) HG says our city breaks are more like walking tours :-) If you get the chance do go!
Dear Chris,
I have enjoyed going to Rome with you. You are very fun to travel with. Everything in Rome looks big and busy. I think I want to try another ice cream!
Thanks for sharing your Holiday. I probly will not get to Rome this time around, even tho all roads lead there.

It was fun, Sherry, and fun doing the blog too :-) So much better than tucking pics away in an album and letting them get dusty :-) I'm so pleased you enjoyed it too!
How lucky are you!!! I would love to go to Rome (are you sure there was no room in your case for little old me?)
I loved Rome too, and for me it was a little bit of nostalgia looking at your photos. I liked the paintings in the Cistine chapel best, your first photo being my favourite, for it portrays the 'big' question about God and Mankind, and what is the relationship between them.
