The final leg of the Caesar Shuffle for me was the Pantheon. Before I checked it out in all it's glory I bought some cheese and crackers from a market and ate lunch in a piazza with wild cats, homeless men and loads of tourists. To kick my ass back into gear I had a coffee at the institution of Eustachio il Cafe. It was simply amazing to watch the locals pay for their order, give their receipt to the barista, wait for the expresso to be made and then literally drink it in two gulps. I digress... it was a great experience and a much needed jolt.
The Pantheon is beautiful, a little magical actually.
Wrong picture - and sideways! These columns are one piece of granite shipped from Egypt!
The dome is 142 feet high and wide and has been recently cleaned. It is beautiful and this picture does not do it justice...
This ends the Caesar Shuffle!
