Kent: :)
20:26 Europe time 11:26 California time
Dusty: We only spent an hour at Borghese (I've already seen it, and the
place is small but awesome), Robby picked everything else, which was
really just seeing stuff on the walk back from Borghese..
Dusty: crowds between spanish steps and pantheon were insane...
20:31 Europe time 11:31 California time
Dusty: I had forgotten how awesome the paintings at Borghese were,
despite the fact I've already cataloged them all on my website...
Dusty: 2 Peter Paul Rubens, lots of Caravaggio and Titian, a
Botticelli, a few Raphaels....and tons of perfect roman mosaics, it was
good to be a pope....

Kent: Gotta wonder how Rome would look without that building
Kent: I think they destroyed a lot of ancient cool stuff
Kent: Love the contents of that museum though
Kent: Amazing things that are equal to things in Vatican imo
Kent: It used to be free too.
23:23 Europe time 14:23 California time
Kent: I remember that museum being reasonable in size and the layout being awesome
Kent: Ray, your picture of kids being Remus and Romulus is sort of how I felt when in there
