A Day Around Rome
I recently had the chance to go to Rome for a sales meeting with our Europe, Middle East and African sales force. My flight landed Sunday morning so I had one "power day" to see Rome. I hooked up with a group of marketing folks and we set out about the historic areas of the city.
Since it was Sunday, we went over to the Vatican where we had a chance to see Pope Benedict address the crowd in St. Peter's Square. Here's a brief snippet of his address in English that I caught with the digital camera:
Here's a photo looking up from the square and the crowds below:
Some of the other sites we saw included the Pantheon:
and Trevi Fountain:
and the Victor Emmanuel II monument:
After the long flight without a whole lot of sleep I ran out of steam before I could see and get pictures of the the Roman Colosseum.
Overall it was a great meeting and sales folks are fired up to keep pounding the bad guys.
Ciao!
