Me in front of the Forum
Paletine Hill, the Forum, and the Colosseum all in the background.We took an overnight train last night and shared a car with 2 South Koreans and an italian. Everyone was 22, and we had some awesome conversation about what everyone thinks about the US. Also, as we have been here 9 days, 6 countries, and 4 launguages, we have realized one thing.
Europe is Under Construction.
You would think they are just building the place with everything under construction. I swear, you cannot go 5 minutes without seeing a major construction project. Not many of the great sites have been, but today some were. The Spanish Steps in Rome were being worked on, so they were not much to see.
We saw the Colloseum, the Palatine, Circus Maximus, the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and a bunch of the other famous sites in Old City. We are at a sweet little campground hostel in little cabins that are surprisingly nice. It is the size of a shed, but it has everything we need. We are here till Sunday, then its off to Venice. I will update when I can, but the internet in Rome is expensive, so it may wait for a few days. Keep the emails coming.
Thieves Running
Look at how scared they are, and all the people laughing Ryan

I envy you and wish I could see half of what you have already experienced. I was in Rome though and I DID AS THE ROMANS DID and hope you do also. Party in those caves that double as bars. Its a blast. I am off to Vegas for 10 days and would much rather be touring beside you.. I wish you health and good fortune for the rest of your wonderful trip. Cannot wait to see the pictures.
