Our Front Door View

THIS (follow the link and then click on street view)is the view from our front door. We've rented a small apartment, 230 square feet, complete with kitchen and bath. We about 100 feet from the ruins of the huge Theatre of Marcellus, and just outside the door are the 2000 year-old ruins of a portico built and named for Augustus's sister Octavia. We're having a fantastic time here in Rome--more to follow!

You're in Rome...city with so much history it is sad to see what happens when you become comfortable with being the keepers of the greatest civilization. (Dirty) I hope you can get by the graffiti and understand that it has its origin in the ancient city that you now are staying! Enjoy your time and we are anxious to see you both.
