On Friday afternoon we visited an interesting Museum in downtown Rome called the '
Palazzio Doria Pamphilj.' This is a great museum and easy to navigate. It's an incredible collection of paintings, furniture and statues dating back to the 16th century. This was yet another case where the self guided tour is great -- we were issued hand-held audio tour guides at the beginning and you could punch in the numbers that corresponded to the various exhibits. This is one of the only Palazzos in private ownership in Rome.
These two images give a flavor of the splendor of this Palazzo . . .
Friday Evening
You have to hand it to Facebook. After we checked into Rome, I noticed that an old friend of mine was also in Rome. We messaged on Facebook and set up a dinner in Piazzo Navona with our kids included. This was a nice break from the family only meals as our boys enjoyed chatting with my friend's two daughters.
