BY BETTY MOOKE BBOWN is May. 190* [ we stayed at Hotel 8m Metro in ' Vatican City, about S blocks from where the Pope Uvea. I've always wanted to go to Rome, but It was bard to believe I waa actually there. It was very hot, but so nice after all our cold weather. After breakfast we start ed out to see as much as possible in the short time we had. First we went over to St. Peter's Square. There is a huge obelisk in the center and on either side a fountain. At the head of the Square is St. Peter's Church, the largest in the world, I believe. The design, for the most part is the work of Mi chelangelo. On either side of the Church embracing it are tall con cret columns. The Architect, Bernini, made the plan of the square this way, to convey the Idea of embracing all STOP THAT ITCH!

I'm getting to be aa much of a photo fiend aa Bud, and want to taka picture* of everything I aee. Next we visited all the old Ro man ruins, the Forum (Hie Arch of Septimus, the Temple of Saturn, and Trajan's Columns) to name a few. It wa a here that the large publls meeting and games were held. It is hard to explain what the Colosaeum looks like. It was an oval amphitheater seating 50,000. Part of the two upper walls are gone. The only seats of wtyte marble left are the ones in the small section where the emperor and high officials sat. The floor on which the gladiators and lions fought haa been decayed and you can see the catacomblike places underneath where the animals were kept, and the barred rooms where the men were kept. The Co losseum is more out-standing at night, with the lights shining on it. The Catacombs, on the outskirts of Rome, were originally used by the early Romans for burial plac es but during the Christian's per secution they were used as meet ing places as well as for burials. There are bones, skulls, etc. still visible in some parts of them ? a rather gruesome but Interesting place. We saw the Temple of Venus or what's left of it; the Baths of Caracalla; and the Pantheon, where all the Roman gods were worshipped. It has been used con tinuously as a church for more than 200 years, and is consider ed a symbol of the religious life of Rome before the change from pa See it now!

On our way back, we stopped at th? Pizza Veneris, considered the Ideal center of Borne. In the background is a monu ment of Victoria Emanuele H. The building behind it, of white marble Is breathtaking, a marve lous piece of architecture. At each end of the roof, are bronse angels. fi)]iimn?, we had a grand view of From high up a colonnade of 1* all Rome. At the foot at the monu ment Is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier's guarded at all times by two soldiers. We really used the film in Rome. The whole time we were in Italy, we just ate Spaghetti, Pisa. Pie and Lasonga as that's all the Ital ian we knew, and we never did find anyone who knew English. We decided American Spaghetti was better than Italian. We thought the German coffe was aw ful .but the Italian coffee, to us, was undrinkable. European breakrasts must con sist of very hard rolls, butter and marmalade, because that's all we got. Poor Debby had a timej but she manages to bite into the rolls better than Bud and I. 17 May, 1986 After breakfast, we regretfully left Rome. We'd covered 1800 miles so far. We went through Capranlca, a very old town, there isn't much left of it It overlooked beautiful Lake Rolsena , smooth as glass. We were back in the mountains again. Bud said they reminded him of Wyoming ? big barren pieces of land, and wide gullies. It's so hot and high nothing much can grow. Just outside Florence we stopp ed for a while at one of our Mili tary Cemeteries. The Italians were building a monument there. Bud had on a khaki uniform and somewhere along the way, Debby threw away the only cap he had with him. Thank goodness, no M. P's were around. We spent the night in Verona at the San Larenzo again. 18 May, 19S6 After leaving Verona, we cross ed Po River and drove through the beautiful Po Valley. The hill sides are dotted with grape vineyards, it's no wonder the Italians have > so much wine. After going through Trento, we , could see snow on the mountains . again, and the air got cooler. < The Italians near the border speak German, and it was so nice < to be able to order something be- ] sides spaghetti again. We started through Brenner Pass I and the Alps and nearly frose as we had on summer clothes. i We were checked through the t Italian and Austrian borders aa \ the other side of Brenner. We drove through Innsbruck and started on over to Salsburg. We were in the Alps nearly all the time in Austria and they were all snow capped and it was mighty i cold and raining too. The highways were much bet ter than in Italy. ' We ate that night at a Utile Gast hause in the mountains, (many German restaurants are called Gasthauses). 1 We went through the Austrian EVERY CAR 'PRICED TO MOVE! HILL MOTORS Dealer License | NO.

An odd thing we noticed waa that all cars except American ware thoroughly searched before crossing each border. AH w* had to do was show Bud's leave pap ers, have mine and Debbie's pass ports stamped, and tell how long we were planning to stay. It was over In a matter of minutes. We arrived on Salzburg at 8} p m. The Salzach River divides the city. We drove around for awhile, and the old castel on the Monch Berg (Berg: being mountain) over looking Salzburg had spotlights on It and was something to see. Some of the oldest churches were lit ud too. Bud was stationed here from 1950-53. He was with the 880th In fantry at Camp Rhoder ( a 10 mil lion dollar camp built by the *rmy). The Dependent quarters are housing Austrian families I imagine the Austrian Army will move Into the camp there. A . May, 19966 We ate breakfast at the Hotel and it was delicious. The waiter spoke English so we could talk for a change. Most of the Austrians we came in contact with spoke very good English. We went up to the Bohenaal zburg Castle, and I mean up we rode straight up the mountain in a water - rim rail car. It's all right u^eas you happen to look down. The castle was built in 1 art by an archbishop, but was used as a fortress up until the middle 1800's We saw the torture chambers think there's any need ? JaD' * l0Dg hall, with numerous tiny windows, through which people shot game. The state bed-room doesn't con tain any furniture now, the walls and ceilings are beautiful, but the stove is the outstanding thing jt reaches nearly to the ceiling and is held by five bronze lions. On it are Biblical scenes in ceramics, and scenes are portrayed of the uvea of the archbishops who ruled Salzburg. Next we vtsited ihe courtroom and the Rainier Museum, which coh tains copies of all the old army uniforms, books, maps and numer ous other articles, dating from the early days of Salzburg. Salzburg is very old and has gone through the Stone Age Bronze Age, and the Iron Age. The Oelts were the first settlers. The Catacombs in the rocks at the Monchs Berg are the oldest part of the town. The early Chris tians worshiped here and hid from the Romans. There was a small church deep In the Catacombs that was built in he 3rd century and it is very 'ell preserved. It is believed that here was the first Christian worship on Austrian soil. Next we visited St Peter's Ab bey Church, erected in the 12th Century. The Inside is very lovely and ethereal. From there we went to Mozart Plata (since this was Mozart's birthplace, a large monument has been erected for the composer). At his home, his first violin, musical compositions, souvemirs, etc. are on display. l**t ot all we visited Mlrab?n Gardens. The gardens contain flowers of all colon and kinds, and also numerous statues depit Ing various classical subjects. We left Salzburg and went out to HeUbrunn Castle, built by an eccentric Archbiahop. This really is a castle for children, and it's very hard to explain. The owner loved to play Jokes ?ad do things out of the ordinary. There isn't much to ? inside aa It wu built tor a day-time villa. There are I huge painting* In the perspective ao that the figure* aeem to, follow you wherever you go. Debby had a grand time touring t he grounds. First we visited the Theatrum, a "high, rounded struc ture. with a tapestry of many colored pebbles. In the foreground is a banquet table. Otl either side are seats for the guests. Here the Archbishop wined and dined them, and when he thought they were getting bored, he would touch a ' hidden button and water squirted from 87 small pipes hidden in the gravel, up through the seats and around the table, to the gueats horror. There are lovely ponds every where. There are grottoes and niches, all containing some mythi cal figure, and in each place, water drenches us. There Is a city run by water, and when it is turn ed on 12 Bpuppets move about and an organ plays. In one grotto, there is a clown,, and when a cavity in his mouth fills with water, his eyea roll, a! huge ears flap. We had to drag long red tongue sticks out, and Debby away from there. There were 'many more sights, different and unusual (and wet). It'a amazing what one can do with water. After leaving there, we crossed the Austrian and German borders again. We had 12 border crossings on our trip. We went through Berchesgaden, another GI recreational center. I We'd planned to apend a few days there, but it waa ao cold and rainy, we decided to come on home, anyway we hated to face one more night of unpacking. We got home late that night, tired, but very happy about all we'd seen. Andrews Personals Mr. and Mrs. Herbert W.
