Geralyn and I strolled along the Capitolium or Capitoline Hill, located between the Forum and the Campus Martius. This is one of the Seven Hills of Rome.
The hill was earlier known as Mons Saturnius, dedicated to the god Saturn.
John and I had the pleasure of visiting the Trevi Fountain. As you can see, the fountain area was packed but John was still able to get a few pictures!
I hope all the father's had a great Father's Day. I know my hubby and son and friends had a good one. It is a wonderful day to celebrate all the love the Father's show their families. And a great day to so honor them. At church we really honored them greatly. Of course, we had to have a little fun too. lol lol They loved it. They also got goodies too. They liked that.
My Mother's Day corsage was still beautiful so I wore it yesterday. That was really neat. I learned the secret of keeping them fresh. I left mine in the plastic contain it comes in and put it in a plastic bag and tied it and placed it in the fridge and it really kept it fresh. Also a large plastic containter works well too. You just have to watch the condensation.
Have a wonderful night. God Bless you. May the Angels of the Lord keep you safe. hugs, Shirley
Geralyn and I visited the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi. The basilica, which was begun in 1228, is built into the side of a hill and comprises two churches (known as the Upper Church and the Lower Church) and a crypt, where the remains of the saint are interred.
HAVE A WONDERFUL EVENING. WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY. BLESS THE LORD FOR IT. HE IS SO GOOD TO US. I HAD MY GRANDSON FOR TWO DAYS AND IT WAS A TREAT. OUR GRANDKIDS MEAN SO MUCH TO US.
GOD BLESS YOU. THE LORD BE WITH YOU. LOVE, SISTER SHIRLEY XOXOXOXO
John and I visited the Galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze, or "Gallery of the Academy of Florence" which is an art museum in Florence, Italy. It is best known as the home of Michelangelo's sculpture David. It is truly a masterpiece that shows more detail than I expected! The veins and muscle structures can only be appreciated by gazing at the sculpture in person!
Hugs, Moe
