Colosseum and Roman Forum



Today was our first of many St.Mary's sponsored tours in Rome/Italy. Our day began bright and early at 9am (earliest I've been up so far, waking up for my internship will be a rude awakening) and headed to the Roman forum. Conveniently some of the teachers for the St. Mary's program come along as our tour guides, so no need to wait in any lines. We spent about 3 hours in the forum, and I could have easily filled another couple hours had it not been for a much needed lunch break back at the Hotel, then onto the Colosseum. It was a lot of walking, and a good amount of rain mixed in all day, but I managed to get off some pictures. I'll keep this post short and let you enjoy the visual art (Can I call it that?)

  2. Ryan,

    You are getting some great pictures and I am glad you are labeling them. I just booked us a hotel in Florence for the weekend we are there and tickets to the Academy to see Michelangelo's David for Saturday morning. One of my favorite gelato places - San Crispino) is on a small side street(Via della Paneterria) by the Trevi Fountain.

    Good Luck Monday morning at the Vatican.
