Photos BY HOWARD DU BOSE:Walking Tour of Riome



I love to look at roof-tops of a city. On our walking tour of Rome, My sister, Edith Du Bose and I looked up as much as we looked out. These antennas were seen from the top of the hill above the Spanish Steps, as was the next one.



Here is one very interesting way to make a roof garden on an older Roman house!



We spend a lot of time walking through any city we visit, looking up alleys and into doorways. Many Roman houses have courtyards and parking areaas inside. this one had a pretty garden.



Near out hotel was around "square" with an arcade on 2 sides. These were the lights in front of the ritzy hotel there.



Here is a close-up of the wrought iron light. Probably an old Roman eagle.
