Filling in the gaps...

Now that I am back and have a bit of time to fill in the gaps, I thought I would post a few things that I had trouble or not enough time to while I was abroad.

One of the sites we visit in Rome was the Pantheon. While the square was quite crowded, the building was notheless impressive. And my guidebook indicates that it is estimated that it was built in 118 AD. Nearly two centuries later, it doesn't look to shabby. With the exception of the front entrance it is circular with a large circular opening in the roof, called an oculus, which lets in the only light. The building is spectacular and it leads you to wonder what we are creating today will still be as impressive in a century or two.
