<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">I saw the pope today. Along with about 300,000 people. Cherly wanted to go so we went and stood for an hour. The window opened, second from the right on the top, banner floats out, everyone cheers and 10 minute later this tiny figure appears. it could have been Elvis for all I could see. He welcomed all said a prayer, then everyone said a prayer in Italian and then he left. After we took the jerky little bus through Camp di Fiori to the Borghese Gallery. Third trip there and still discover something so magnificent. Such decadence and overabundance of wealth while a cardinal and pope. The Berninis are magnificent. Ended day at Trevi fountain. Threw in another coin again so that means I have 2 trips back to Italy. Have to start saving more then pennies to come back.</span><br />

It really is so profound. I stand forever silently wonder how such a piece of marble can evoke so much emotion. The slaves are not too bad either and so interesting to see the steps, the stokes from the hammer on the unfinished pieces.

Great to see her workshop and some of the documents and ancient art she is working on. Would love to spend a year doing just that. We were invited my friend to leave tomorrow in her car for the hills with no destination in mind and see where we end for the night. Love adventures. Ended day with sundown at Pitti. Such an unbelievable collection of everything from precious art, furniture, objects, endless rooms of treasures. Gardens not to bad either.</span><br />

Fast train to Naples and then the local express.Italy is filled with tourist wandering and wondering where they are and how to get somewhere.. Signage is so bad if there is any and what there is is covered in graffiti. No advance notices or noting of stations so you hope and pray you hit the correct one and have time to get off in one piece. Spending night her<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">e and back to Rome tomorrow. We have a 3 day pass which entitles us to see 5 places, impossible in 3 days but could not go to Pompeii this afternoon as only allowed 1 visit to each. Museums are very expensive here and twice as much if you are a non euro citizen. We need to charge foreigners more when they visit our museums in US. That would help keep them open.<br />Save lots of dineros to come visit.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">Back in Rome after great stay in Pompeii and wonderful family that owned the B&B where we stayed. The family was so warm and welcoming and could not do enough for us. The hospitality, home cooked many coursed meal certainly made up for a little pealing paint. When we walk up our hill walk past a small shop making hand made shoes. I always wave at them and tonight they motioned us in. Spent an hour talking with them and watching them make the most incredible shoes. Look them up at fefcalzolai@legalmail.it. Every step is done there. Watched them cut leather, hand stitch, add and trim cork, stitch all amazing steps and even the dying. Love the art and craftsmanship and each pair is truly a work of art. Now I will look with envy each time I pass by and stop by to9 watch and talk. This is the great part of staying inn one place longer. No plans for tomorrow but who knows? I could end up like Geppetto.</span></div>

Actually it poured while we were at Campo di Fiori market. We tried to stay under tents but we finally pulled out our tacky plastic rain coats we bought on street. Then ducked into museum only to find that one of our favorite Artemesia's paintings was on loan and it Argentina until October. Could someone please alert the Italian that it is October. But wonderful visit the to Villa Farnese. CLOSED. But open Saturday morning. Millions of tourist and limited openings. But so much to see. Visited couple churches, forum and so much more.....All Hills Lead to Rome.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">Wasted half day but spent it people watching. I decided we should go to train station to get reservations for trips to Venice and Florence. Italy is so overflowing with people impossible to believe. The pope made it the year of Faith so guess the world thinks it has to make pilgrimage to Rome. Never have had Eurorail pass validated but now reservations are required. Also another way to get 10 more euros a trip out of tourist. So we got to Termini and had to take number but no one to ask if it was correct line. We waited through 80 numbers while we watched clerks talks to each other, get snacks, etc. Then were told wrong line so we went to other with over 100 numbers in front of us. Finally got a nice person who was helpful so now our seats are done. Trip to Pompeii no an she said the way the crowds are now iffy but taking chance. Some rain but we were in train station most of day so no problem. Went to Maria Maggiore after. Love to just sit and absorb. Such amazing architecture, artifact, paintings ,etc. Love it all. Even rode the bus back. Quite rough on all the cobblestones. Back needs a rest now.</span><br />

English friends rented car and driver and so now I have walked Hadrian's wall in England with them, seen his tomb and been to his villa together. Crowds are at least a million near St. Petes and we have not even been inside yet. 6 wide and lined for blocks as far as the eye can see. We th<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">ink it may be the new pope. I have never seen so many people. At Trevi fountain where we went at night we could not even get close to it packed with people. We hope that it lessens towards end of month. Off to Pantheon today and area close by. Sunshine today but rain predicted.<br />Thought of Jeff as we are off to buy coffee pot. The one cup is not working well. Friends stayed at hotel right next to where Shari stayed when making film here. Recall memoires of past trips. Hard to see Rome all in a life time.</span></span></div>

After full day of walking city, shopping, lunch in Trastevere by old apart ment love the view of church dome from my bedroom and ready for sleep. Friends come from England tomorrow and should be such fun. Apartment up steep hill and several steps but half block from Tiber and great location.</span><br />

The real problem is the bed which is a wooden platform with several layers of cloth. I'm really sleeping on a wooden board. It is teaching me GRATITUDE! Everywhere one goes here, folks are sleeping on the street, ground, or floor with just a blanket. I at least have a platform! Last night I slept 11 hours. I walk so much, by the time I hit the bed, I'm ready to sleep.</span></div>

Everyday,there are things that break your heart and things that amaze.I was told to bring pens to give to children and since I had 6 boxes left over from the election, I brought them. While I waited for the tour bus, there was a little guy(6?) working like a slave, throwing buckets of garbage away, blah, blah. I walked over to him and gave him a pen. he</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> had no idea what it was and walked over to his father. His dad showed him and then started to pocket it but I shook my finger and he gave it to his son, who beemed. I got on the bus and we were off for a n 8 hour tour. Stopping at a stop light , 4 lanes of traffic there was a little girl doing cartwheels and hip hop dancing in the middle of the street in hopes that someone in a car would give her money... The most heart wrenching was a woman 1,000 years old pulling herself on a bag down the street. Her legs didn't work at all and she weighed 80 lbs. She was smiling and talking to the shop keepers and was having a good old time. The power of her soul was awsome.<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}">every once in a while you see something that so engages you, you'll never forget it. Such was the GOLDEN TEMPLE!! IT IS THE VATICAN TO SIKHS. One of the most amazing places, it even made me spiritual. It is surrounded by marble buildings with domes, gleeming white. There is a walkway next and pilgrims are all walking in one direction with their hands clasped. In the center is a reflecting pool th<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">at is 5 football fields across. In the center of the pool is the golden temple and yes it's gold. After walking around it for 40 minutes you finally walk on a 2 block long bridge to the temple. as you come into the hall, the is a blue velvet canopy that is embroidered with pearl and silver. The head "rabbi" sits there and to his left is a 5 piece "band" playing golden instruments and singing which is piped out to the rest of the buildings. In front of the "rabbi" is a "carpet of flowers" in a mozaic. There are pilgrims on 2 sides chanting? Above all this is a hugecrystal chandalier. This pavillion is 2 stories tall with worshipers on the 2nd story.<br />That sundown, I went to the boarder with Pakistan. Every night India and Pakistan have a marching battle.There are huge gates on either side which they open but you can really only see your "team". The uniforms of the Indians were so kooll and I'msure these soldiers were chosen on height and beauty. They do kicks above their heads and all sorts of firery things. Reminded me of cock fighting.<br />After this , I had to go back to the Golden Temple to see it at night. Very emotional!</span></span></div>

The Taj Mahal Day<br />All the guide books say see the Taj at sunrise. So, I get into agra@10pm, take a taxi to my hotel which is 5 doors from the entrance. However, the streets leading there are blocked off to traffic, so I'm schleppin with my suitcase down the street making a lot of noise. No one is on the streets. I finally find my hotel and fall immediately asleep. Wake up the next morning and the<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"> bed is sooo nice and warm and the room is so cold. I can see my breath! Get up or go back to sleep?? up or down?? Finally after a long battle with myself, I get up. Throw on clothes and step outside. not a soul awake on the planet. I finally get to the entrance of the hotel and there are 2 bicycle rickshaws. They ask me if I want aride to the ticket window. Now, from last night, I know the window is up the block. I say no in a very gruff way, and start walking. It's freezing, I can see my breath! As I'm walking I realize that it's only $2 to have them drive me. I walk back and LaLa the driver takes me there and to the entrance. I wait in line. They open the gate and I walk in. There is a nice garden and I run and get an audio recorder.I start the tour.<br />In front is a huge structure (15 stories?)built to frame your entrance "to leave earth and go into paradise". You walk up some steps and framed perfectly is the Taj.It is enclouded and you just see this beautiful pure white structure.engulfed in clouds, floating on this planet. Between you and the building are several acres of magnificent fountains and gardens. One gets to the half way point and there is a marble platform to view the building. There are a few tourists but it is mostly me and the most beautiful building on the planet! as one gets closer, one starts to seethe veins in the marble and it takes on a whole different aspect. You start to see the in-lay work of precious stones and the sheer mass of it! They had to use brick scaffolding to build it because the weight of the marble was so heavy that a wooden scafold would collapse. It is amazing, you've heard about this your whole life and here it is!<br />You know his wife died bearing his 14th child when he made the promise to build it, took 22 years and finally when it's finished ,his eldest son creates a coup de tah (sorry, don't know how to spell it) and de-thrones him and puts him into a palace for the rest of his life and he grieves his dead wife.</span></div>

That is to say, the calligraphy here is not painted on; it is made of finely cut pieces of stone, inlaid into socketed slabs of white marble. The skill and dedication required for such a monumental task are beyond my understanding. And if that isn't enough... the calligraphy gets larger the higher up it goes, to account for the skewing effect of perspective when one is viewing from below.</span></td></tr>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">I am currently in collapse mode. I'm in Khajuraho, a town famous for the erotic sculptures in their many temples. I arrived got into a tuk-tuk and went to my hotel, areally nice place- Casa de William(no kidding, that's the name!) Hit the bed and slept for 4 hours. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">The trains are so funny. i don't care where I sit. So, the last train ,I was in royalty with a berth. It was a lovely trip. This tripwas $.25 and I was in steerage! For an hour, I sat on my luggage and it was really crowded. Lots of poor folks taking sacks of stuff, blocking the aisles, doorways, etc.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #37404e; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">So far, I celebrated 3 holidays here, Kite Festival, Mohammad's Birthday and today is India's independence Day!</span><br />
