Roman in the Rain, Haydn in the Church

my brother came down to visit for a few days this weekend, so allison and i took the bus to meet his train. it was raining. really hard sometimes. so after finally figuring out where to buy bus tickets, here is a shot of each of us.





we finally all got together. the big event of the evening was a free Haydn concert at Santa Maria Maggiore performed by the Collegium Musicum Krefeld, an outfit apparently from the Lower Rhine-Westphalia area. This is my brother and I on the steps in front of the church:

finally, this is also where bernini is buried, so i've included a picture of his marker:
