Photos and report from our trip to Rome

Over Christmas, we spent a wonderful two weeks in Italy. We spent eight nights in Rome, two nights in Naples (to visit Pompeii), and then the final two nights in Rome. This was our third trip and the longest one yet. (Our first was only three full days.) We saw a ton of things, some we had seen before and some that were new (including Trajan’s Market, San Giovanni in Laterno, Gesú church). We enjoyed Naples, but did find it grittier than Rome, and loved Pompeii. The weather was really quite good aside from a couple of so-so days. Of course, I took a ton of photos (a bit over 5000).
