I couldn't stop myself from making the title of this post cheesy and typical... We toured Rome a few weekends back, and it was so amazing! I wish we could have spent more time there, because two days was not nearly long enough, but it was still so amazing to see many of the historic art and architecture that I've been learning about for years. I'm splitting this post up into two days' worth, because I fear that the amount of pictures if I were to do it all in one would crash the not-so reliable WiFi in my apartment here in Firenze. (One thing I will say that's nice about America is strong WiFi connections, but at the same time it's nice that they don't really care about that so much here in Europe.) Anyway, I digress. On the first day in Rome, despite the gross rain, we made it to the ruins of the Roman Forum, the Colosseum, and the Pantheon. I have always been intrigued by the history of the Roman Empire, so it was especially interesting to hear the history and see it coming alive right before me. I walked where there Romans walked!
Check back tomorrow for details of my second day in Rome, and details on our day trip to Pompei!
Ciao!
