Teatro Romano, the Ancient Roman Theater
I walked down to where the car was parked to pay for more time.
This is a photo that Karen took from on top of the city walls overlooking the ancient Roman Theater (see photo below.)
You can see me getting something out of the back of our Fiat Panda.
The blue lines on the parking area indicate that you have to pay for parking.
White lines indicate free parking, but they were all full.
To the left, you can see the machine where I deposited the money for parking.
It gave me a ticket that I put on the dashboard.
As I walked back from the car, I used the zoom to get this photo of Karen on the ancient city walls, overlooking the Roman Theater.
This is the area where Karen was standing when I took the photo above.
This is part of the ancient city walls overlooking the ancient Roman theater.
