Ancient Rome

Honestly, I don't remember much about this day (it seems like FOREVER ago!!)
We spent our last day going to see ancient Rome, and then going back to a few of our other favorite places.
This is part of ancient Rome, it's right next to the Colosseum (which is the building to the right).

Us in front of the Colosseum. That place is so cool!

Inside the Colosseum


Here's the arch again, this time looking at it from inside the Colosseum.

The ancient roman forum, it was built by the Romans for the center of their city. All the politics and social stuff happened here.




Supposedly, Julius Caesar is buried here, inside the forum.

Then, as we were walking back to see the Trevi Fountain, we walked past this building that is commonly called, "the wedding cake." This was the monument built for Vittorio Emmanuele II, Italy's first king.

Back at the Trevi Fountain.

Then we went back to the Pantheon too. Inside the pantheon.

Out in front of the Pantheon.
And that's the end of that. A very fun trip, but we were ready to come home!
