Paninis, Peroni and the Pantheon

During class today, our professors gave us an assignment that was to sit at the Pantheon for an hour and just observe. Not only people but sounds and scenery too. My classmate Courtney and I decided that because we had a pretty trying day at class, we needed some lunch and a beer. We got a panini and a bottle of Peroni at a bar that is on our way from the classroom to the Pantheon on Via Piè di Marmo. We took our nice little lunch over to the Pantheon and sat under some of the columns enjoying our lunch. We had a chance to observe all of the sites and sounds going on around us. One of my favorite things was the pigeons that were going crazy around us. Some of them were puffing up and trying to scare away other pigeons. Some were brown and looked a lot different than the typical gray pigeons. Some were really nervous and kept running away any time we moved. It was a really interesting thing to watch!
