Rome: Our Neighborhood

Let's explore around the neighbor by our hotel a bit...

 At the corner of Via Cavour and Via dei Fori Imperiali, there appeared to be a new park that was about to open. The Italian military vehicles out front were preparing for the 3 June 2011 military parade, but they had a portable building set up in the new park.

 While we were riding a tour bus, this woman on a bicycle came up beside us. It made me very nervous, especially when the light turned green and she began getting squeezed between the bus and a few cars. Not for the faint of heart.

 As stated previously, the Roman Forums were right there - about 2 minutes from our hotel.

 Down one of the side streets off Via Cavour, we sat and had a bottle of wine one evening. This was the view from the bar - about 2 minutes from our hotel.

 Same place.

 About 2 minutes the other direction from our hotel were these stairs looking towards Via dei Fori Imperiali.

 Same place.

 I must've liked the view (same place again).

 Another side street a couple of minutes from the hotel. Look at those vines!

 Turning to look another direction from the above pic.

 The doors on the buildings in Rome fascinated me.
