Our second day in Rome we decided to go to the Pantheon. We also had our suits on to go to the beach, but then it started raining...story of my summer.
The Pantheon is beautiful. It was built by the Romans as a temple to their many Gods, but has since been obtained by the Catholic Church (ironic).
Isn't it gorgeous?
Except for the scaffolding? ALSO the story of my summer...scaffolding. It's like Europe thinks it is a good way to decorate the outside of buildings or something.
The neat thing about Rome is that you can just wander a few blocks (if that) and find something gorgeous and thousands of years old. Seriously, no matter where you are, you will find something. You can be driving down the road and you will just see columns left over from a temple or old roman marketplace. It is crazy. Below is a church we discovered after wandering around the Pantheon area.
The sun eventually came out and we decided we would try to figure out how to get to the beaches of Rome. It wasn't TOO complicated, but it was cloudy :(. That volcano in Iceland has GOT to stop disrupting the weather (that is our hypothesis to why it just keeps raining and raining and raining).
