Who Knew There Were Lobsters in Rome

---

Well, today was a long day of site seeing! We woke up early to get to Colosso before the big crowds came.

We stopped first at St. Peter in Chains. Here, is the sculpture of Moses that Michaelangelo began designing. Also, we saw the chains that bounded St. Peter.

Next, we went to the iconic Colosseum. Sadly, there were no gladiators dressed up, but they are a scam anyways! I had to do a research paper about the art history of the Colosseum, so I had to present to my class all that I have learned. The Colosseum was huge and truly amazing to see a place with a past of brutality.

After the Colosseum, we went to the Roman Forum to see the Arch of Titus and other ruins.

It was a hot day, and I got a little sunburn (I kind of look like a lobster) but not a severe one! Tonight for dinner, we decided to go to the Trevi Fountain and find a restaurant around it. The rule of thumb is to go about 2 blocks from the landmark to find a more authentic place. We went to L'Archetto, and I order the carbonara, which was so good and fresh. The Trevi Fountain was packed, but not as busy as it would be during the daytime. I was even able to make a wish as I tossed a coin over my shoulder!
