Posting my Mediterranean shots (part 2)

Next up are photos from Genoa, Cinque Terre, and Rome. It may seem like I hardly took any photos of Rome - and in comparison to other locations on this trip, this is true. This is my 3 visit to Rome or 4th if you count twice on my last trip to the Mediterranean where I flew into Rome, stayed 3 days, boarded a ship for 14 days, finished in Venice then took a train back to Rome to spend 2 more days before flying home. However it adds up, I have taken a lot of photos of Rome over the years. This part of the trip we were there for a day. I had requested with the Vatican Archeological Department to tour the necropolis under the Vatican. I have done this before with my ex-wife when we were married and were so impressed with it I felt my parents would find it intriguing. Before we were dropped of at the Swiss Guard gate our driver took us to see the firing of the Canon of the Gianicolo that fires daily at noon on Janiculum Hill. I didn’t know anything about that until that day, so that was a plus.

At the end of my trip I disembark in at the Rome port as well and spend the night before flying home the next day. More on that later.

And here are the photos for part 2 of my Mediterranean shots:
