Jennifer and I chose as our first priority for Rome to go out to see the temple. We took the subway and the bus….well, we took the bus a couple of times because we missed the stop the first time. (We actually think now that the driver didn’t stop even though we pushed the button requesting a stop.)
It was worth the effort even though the security guard would not let us in the construction gate to take even one pictures (which is, of course, his proper job.) He did tell us how to go up the slight hill next door for a picture. That worked. We got these pictures.
Then we headed back down the hill to catch the bus back to Rome city center and discovered that across the street from where we got off the bus you could get a good view of the temple.
You could also see the rooftops of the new stake center and some of the other buildings in the temple complex.
Finally, we took a few pictures of the area immediately surrounding the temple. It looks quite empty, but there is a major shopping complex nearby and several (relatively new looking) sections of housing.
The Rome Temple, what a miracle, what a wonderful site to see.
