Being also one of them I can´t complain. But the Trevi Fountain yesterday was too much for me. I started the sketch and soon gave up.
Today I finished the sketch by just adding any person who looked interesting. Even cars and Vespas. Bonus material: If you look close enough you can identify some parts of the TREVI FOUNTAIN.

Blue sky and a sunshine that makes you want to rather side in the shade. Noise from everywhere, people laughing, many different languages, the fountain water splashing: this is Rome.

Vaticano Museo: Entering the Vatican Museum

Vaticano Museo: Entering the Vatican Museum, a photo by manfred schloesser on Flickr.

Impressive Doorway and difficult to get in.
I joined an English tour and after two hours watching and gazing we entered the famous Sistene Chapel. Michelangelo spent years there. I felt reminded of the movie Angels and Demons.

On my walk through Rome I crossed the river Tiber, which is called Trevere in Italian. Coming back to my place I had the chance to sketch the Isola Tiberina.

We finally made it to Rome. Lufthansa "forgot" our luggage at the Munic Aiport and we had to find out how to get it. Two hours later.... But Rome is fantastic. Today on Sunday 22 April 2012 the Pope gave a speech.
