It rained, it poured; God provided his own fireworks display. So, we stayed indoors with a simple dinner and watched Angels and Demons to identify landmarks and pull apart Dan Brown’s ignorance of conclave procedures! Just in time for the display at the Colosseo though, the rain let up and we went up to the terrace. It is as if they planned them just for us!

Here are a couple clips that Nancy filmed from my window – the show starts about 20 seconds into the first one. They are literally firing them off just at the edge of our gardens; no zoom necessary.

[OK, it seems i cannot embed videos without an upgrade. I will load them to YouTube, which you can access here.]
