Top of a building view of Rome, Forum, Van Gogh art exhibit

Well, another busy busy day.  It's 9:46 PM and we just walked in from a great dinner at "Mimi & Coco's".  I'll try to post.

Rome from the top of Vittorio Emmanuel Monument (I made some lovely videos for you!!)
Forum from the top of the monument
Lunch at a cafe on a midway level...outside and overlooking the city.

A great art exhibit with tons of Van Goghs...no photos...didn't even sneak one.

Just found out some interesting information about the Design of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

The design of the arch by Jean Chalgrin is based on the Arch of Titus in Rome. The Arc de Triomphe is much higher (50m versus 15m), but it has exactly the same proportions.

I put a description at the end of the post so that you could experience my experience.  Look, look, look, read about it, then return to the photos to look with new eyes. Center statues are "Peter's Denial".  The three women on the left represent the three times of the denial. "The Rooster", to the left of the women, looks towards dawn.
