Wednesday 28 May: Hot on the Gianicolo

It was roasting hot today, and I spent the morning doing research while Gary when to the palestra. In the afternoon we took a bus to the top of the Gianicolo. This hill, the ancient Janiculum, is a huge ridge on the west side of the Tiber. Trastevere lies at its foot, and north of the Gianicolo is the Vatican Hill. From the Gianicolo you get great views of Rome in all directions. Gary and I took some pics; check them out on Flickr.
