More from Rome

I am now in Istanbul. What a beautiful place it is! And so much different than Rome in that Muslims far outnumber Christians. However, I get a sense that all religious groups in Turkey are living together in relative peace. How I wish the entire world would take after Turkey's model of secularism. We would all be living in peace. Anyway, here is my last set of pix from Rome. Next will be pix from Istanbul.
