The catacombs didn't allow photos, unfortunately. They were the burial places outside Rome for the early Christians from the first five or six centuries A.D.. Inside the one we looked at was the original tomb of St. Cecilia, as well as burial niches for hundreds and hundreds of others. The catacombs were divided into four levels, only the bottom two of which still had full graves. The top two levels- the ones we were allowed to go in- were all empty. It was nice to go down in them, though, because the temperature was around 60 degrees underground, compared to the 95 on the surface. Timmy had a great time underground, too- being nothing but tunnels!
Here was part of our dinner. The main dish there is Sea Bass- apparently a dish that's served well in Rome. It wasn't particularly angry by the time it got to me, but I'd imagine that the trip from the sea to the plate made it so at one point or another. The dish at the top of the picture was Savannah's- miniature lobsters or something like that. Timmy had plenty of pasta and fish, but he ate off our plates.
Well, when we gave Timmy the piece of bread upon sitting down, we didn't quite expect him to eat it with a fork. Nonetheless, Timmy was practicing proper table manners. A little later on in the night, three old guys sat at the table next to us and were talking with Timmy and making funny faces and the like. Timmy got quite a kick out of it!
This was waiting at one of the bus stops on the way to the catacombs. Timmy was still in a very good mood at this point, as he was at the beginning of most days. He hated bus rides, though, and it didn't take him long to get grumpy!
