Rome: Day 12 The Big Hill Climb







Today we walked up an insane hill to get to some lookouts and to see the place where St. Peter was crucified. I got an amazing shot of the small temple or shrine built to honor him. We visited several churches, there were various old pieces of Roman architecture used to accent the walls of the basilicas. The climb up the hill hardly seemed worth it, but in the end we were glad we did it (I thought I was going to die, all these young bucks are kicking my butt).

Leslie got locked out of one of the churches and had to wait outside for the rest of us (ha/ha). I got a great self-portrait today with a little help from my good friend Leslie. I also got a nice photo of JT as he was looking up at the sun coming in through a window of the church. Leslie was sitting in one of the churches trying to get her camera set–up for a self portrait and I cheated a little and helped her get this one.

We spent the afternoon in the studio cleaning up our best photos and making prints. In all it has been an exciting and full day. I am including a shot of how ridiculous we look when we go places, everyone has a camera and we're all taking pictures of the same "DANG THING."
