- Our luck on this trip has been remarkable, the longest line we have stood in was 30 minutes for the Eiffel Tower. On a beuatiful sunny morning we arrived at the Colloseum as it was opening and walked right in.
- Built in 70 - 80 AD and sat 50,000 spectators
- Arch of Constantine and the Roman Forums from the perspective of the Colloseum
- Trevi Fountains in the daytime, something we felt we need to see again and sober!
- Baths of Caracalla
- While visitting the Pyramid of Cestius we found a small cemetary where the English poet John Keats is burried
- We woke up this morning with half a day left in Rome before heading off to Florence. It was raining and the skies looked dark, so we hopped an earlier train for the sunny city of Firenze. One of the first things I took Shawn to see was the Ponte Vecchio.
- Shawn in front of the Duomo. The ornate decorations on the outside of the cathedral are so amazing, it is a shock to walk inside and see the stark white walls.
