After that we used up the rest of our Hop on Hop off tour and went to the Spangna (Spanish Steps) (which were closed for repaired). A round trip on the HOHO bus, past the Colosseum and Circus Maximus , which is 600 meters long/oval, used for chariot races (movie Ben Hur). During intermission, to rest the horses they would let the lions out and through a bunch of Christians in for entertainment, barbaric, and such an advanced culture.
More walking through the streets and alleys of trendy shops.
Then to the Pantheon, designed by Rafael, (the largest single dome building until 1970 when they built to New Orleans Super dome) - it was spectacular - dinner at restaurant nearby, where Jimmy had eaten 15 years ago. wandered slowly back to the apartment, seeing loads more flowers at the French Embassy
