SPQR

What does SPQR stand for again? Its the letters that represent rome. Is it in latin or something? Someone tell me.

Anyway, Rome has been great, we have found new great places for food, great pizza and awesome gelato.

We have also hit all the major sites of Rome.

Ancient Rome was ordinary to be honest, the ruins didnt impress me that much, they are just broken bricks and columns. The colesseum was impressive from the outside, but inside was quite dissapointing.

The Vatican was impressive. St Peters Basilica is HUGE and the sculptures in there are unbelievable. Bernini's, Michaelangelo's, Raphaels...

The Vatican Museum is also amazing, with the Sistine Chapel the absolute highlight. The detail that is gone into by Michaelanglo is just stunning. The Raphael rooms are also stunning. You can easily tell the work of a master, it really stands out.

Without Naming any names, i thought id give an inventory of the items that we have acquired so far on this trip, naming only designer labels of course..

1 Giorgio Armani Suit
1 Saville Row Suit
1 Paul Smith Suit
1 Burberry Suit
2 Burberry Shirts
3 Emporio Armani Ties
1 Dior Tie
5 Versace Ties
2 YSL Shirts

If my high school Latin classes serve me well, I think SPQR stands for Senatus Populusque Qui Romanus, meaning
The Roman Senate and People.
