Historical Rome

---

Seven hours of sleep and I feel refreshed and ready to take on Rome. There were these blinds that came down on the windows that locked and turned to room pitch black so there was no waking us up .. that is until the alarm in the TV came on ... that was wierd.

I am going to add pictures and alter my blog later to fill you in on the details of it all ... but its 11pm and I just got to a new hotel and I am tired. David is already asleep.

David hates that I want to take lots of pictures

Colosseo
They had 80 arches on each of the three levels. This whole structure used to be encased in marble. NOtice all the holes, thats where they tore out the iron rodes to retrieve the marble.

Arco di Constantino
One of three arches that are left out of the original 17.

Palatine
This was the Roman Forum where all the aristocrates came to socialize. IT turned into the Beverly Hills of Rome

Palatine
Again, this whole area used to be encased in marble.
