Time is running together and is speeding up for me so I don't know exact dates anymore.  I went to the old Jewish Ghetto and learned it is the first and oldest in Europe.  More than any of the churches I visited this was the most moving and well done.  I was not allowed to take pictures in it becauseof terrorist threats and violence that killed a ten-year old boy there not long ago.  If yo want to learn more of this history you can find a site by Rick Steves (I swear I walked past him yesterday on the Ponte Sisto).  The two pictures are of the old Ghetto, which had to be torn down because it was a cesspool as the river was always overflowing into it.

Remember I told you about the old buildings under the city, well I think these will show you what I mean.

Also, I promised that picture of the policeman.  What do yo think?
