 Italy - Colisseum and Forum |
Well we have had a full two days. They literally run together from when we left you yesterday at the airport. We have flown 5400 miles overnight, toured the Roman Coliseum, the Roman Forum, had a bag lunch in the shadow of the coliseum, walked to the heart of Rome and had dinner in a quaint little Italian restaurant.. Everyone is exhausted including me. We have walked and climbed steps all afternoon.
We are at the hotel and lights out was out 10:30. I am going to call it a night myself. I have included a picture at the Roman Coliseum of the group as proof we haven’t lost anyone yet. So far, so good!!!!
Here is a link to some additional pictures I put in Shutterfly. I took others of the students but I did not post them because they were not particularly good. Keep looking for your student in future postings. You may need to copy and paste the link to your browser window.

Bambi, it looks like you all are having a blast!
No one can tell -- from the pictures-- that you all are exhausted.
I bet the Italian restaurant was better than Olive Garden :-)
Have fun!
