So I woke up this morning and had what has become the standard breakfast - The Hotel Raffaello continental breakfast. They have croissants, scrambled eggs, fruit, cheesecake, toast and several types of juice.
Today I walked over to see the Pantheon ("temple to all gods"). This building was actually built around 125 AD and is still in good shape today. 
The Pantheon is widely considered the most masterful architectural feat of ancient Rome. I am still amazed at how wonderfully preserved it is. Considering that probably over 2000 tourists walk in it a day, it is in pristine condition.
From the Pantheon, I walked over to Piazza Navona. This Piazza was once the site of an ancient stadium, and still retains the shape of that athletic arena.
From Piazza Navona, I walked over to the Abbey Theater Irish Bar. It was here that I sat back for a few hours and watched good ol' American NFL football. After spending a few Euro's on beer and food, I headed back to the hotel for the night. I am not sure what I will be doing tomorrow yet. The weather will be a determining factor. I might take a day off and just find a park to read in, or I might go to the Vatican. I'll let you know what I decide.
