April 26: Colosseum!

Sorry this post is a little late, I've just had lots of things going on the last few days. But, here it is!

Two days ago, we went to the Colosseum at 8:30 in the morning with a guide, so we could experience the wonders in full! It was so amazing! I posted a ton of photos on my Facebook page, but it was just so awesome to see a part of ancient history right in front of me, and walk inside it no doubt! I could have spent days there, but there was another attraction in store for us...

We went with our guide to the Forum, which is a wide open space where the Romans held meetings and did other stuff. To be honest, it was a bit underwhelming, but at least we ate lunch there.

After the Forum, we walked to the church where the chains of St. Peter and Michelangelo's Moses statue was. It was interesting to see a religious side of Rome (like I haven't before), but the chains were cool to see.

Next, and finally, we went to the steps designed by Michelangelo, which were very underwhelming. But then we walked home, and I got some rest.

Next: Vatican City!
