What is Rome really like? From one woman's point of view it is: a big pile of whipped cream with strawberries arranged by an artist; narrow little streets and broad avenues; numerous piazzas with fountains by Bernini and other masters; (albeit most of the fountains are no longer flowing with water nor brilliantly lit since the energy crisis). It is a breathtaking display of the genius of Michaetaneelo: it is gold and silver and a place of treasure; it is obelisks and even a pyramid, filched from the Egyptians by the Roman Empire; the site of the narrow Appian Way, less wide than the Jersey Shore Pike, where Julius Caesar marched his mighty legions near the time of the birth of Christ; it is the amazement of the advancement of civilization 2000 years and more ago and the preservation of some of it today as seen in the Coloseum, Forum, Pantheon, Hadrian's Villa, Catacombs; it is the wonder of ancient engineering feats as seen not only in the architecture but in the aquaducts, the Tivoli fountains which operate by the hundreds only on gravity, and roads paved with lava blocks in 100 B.C. and still being used. It is Trevi Fountain, a massive sculpture creation surrounded by narrow streets and sidewalk cafes and into m WttJbv. 3n Mfc

the waters of which people throw litter at least as often as coins; it is St. Peter's Basilica, Sistine Chapel and Vatican City, and epitomizes the most magnificent of the churches in a nation where a church spire towers over every village and dominates the horizon. It is warm skies, palm trees, olive trees, fresh fruit, and parks with browned grass and unkempt lawns; it is friendly, helpful people, shopping at small meat markets and bemoaning the price per kilogram of poultry and veal; it is a place of chic shops and sidewalk peddlers; it is shaky government and unstable lire; a home for artists and creative people; a haven for United States medical students, who can find no room in their own country to study and come by the thousands.
'ft is tourists tour busses, cheap transportation, trains that run on time and a subway that may never be finished as each attempt at construction unearths treasures from the past and is halted for archaeological explorations. It is excellent food, no window screens, few flies, and gay music. And, altogether a mind-boggling experience trying to comprehend the encapsulized view of the magnitude of time encompassed in its civilization. A place to return to. on re which extended into a chapel train.
