I had the good fortune to visit Rome with a person who's been living there for a while and who's part of the clergy, so I got to visit some less known places also like the jail cell where St.Peter was chained and where he baptized the jailor, the Santa Scala (or the staircase of Pontius Pilate's palace where Christ was made to walk on his knees) and the altar in that church where they display what they believe to be pieces of Christ's cross and nails! And ofcourse, the catacombs! Best of all was being able to attend a blessing ceremony with Pope John Paul II (back in 2004). Amazing place. Given a chance I'd go back any number of times 'coz I'm pretty sure I haven't seen the best of it yet! Thx for taking me through it again - Rome would probably be the one place that's not home but that which I terribly miss as if it were home! P.S: Trevi is conspicuous by its absence - don't tell me you didn't drop a coin into the fountain! ;-) :-) Very nostalgic post for me!

And it is nice that you didn't let a little Greek myth get in the way of your writing -- Zeus ? You should also include tips on where to stay and how much stuff costs just so others can get an idea.
