They say Rome was not built in a day - I believe it! After spending the whole day walking part of the city it is striking to learn how many monuments, churches, restaurants, fountains, etc. there are everywhere you look. Today we visited the Colosseum where our tour guide, Antonio, told us many interesting facts about the famous landmark (which was built in eight years). We saw the Roman Forum and had lunch at the city center. After visiting bascilicas and shopping we have had a jam-packed day. Can't wait to see more of Rome and go to Vatican City tomorrow. Ciao for now. :-)

Jenny, remember to bring me a rock or two from the coliseum, the vatican, etc. Put them in David's backpack,he will think that he's just overworked. Sound's like everyone is having a fantastic trip.
