Probably the last of Anne Breitenbach's photos.

I have just about come to the end of various photos from Anne to put up. If Bob ever recovers his and gets them to me, I will probablyput up a few, and I will look thru mine again as well. I hope you have enjoyed these and get the feeling of how wonderful and fun this trip really was! Thanks to all the participants for working together and helping make it successful.

This is the ceiling of the Pantheon, the temple to all of the Roman Gods. (It is now also a church!) This is a cast concrete ceiling, as I was told, with the design laid in the concrete. Good work 2000 years ago. They supposiodly filled the whole building with dirt containing coins, used the dirt to support the casting, then had the Roman populace come in and dig out the dirt, keeping the coins that they found. If true, a very smart idea!



Here we are in Rome, and this is a photo of the inside of the Collisium, an image you do not often get to see. Of course, you get tio see it when you go there. This whole area was floored over, and there the battles and spectacles took place.



This is the Lago Alban, a lake that sits in the come of an ancient Volcano. The large buiding in the center on the opposite shore is the Pope's summer residence. This was just down the road from our Hotel, south of Rome.



This is the ancient Temple of minerva in Assisi, Italy. It is one of the oldest buildings in town, and is now being used as a church, Catholic, of course!
