Today after class we went to The Coliseum. When we got out
of the metro station there it was in all it’s glory..It’s incredible! I was
seriously in awe and was star struck. I couldn’t believe I was actually there.
We got in with our Roma Pass, which gets us in to all these places and on the
public transportation. The Roman engineers who built the Coliseum are
absolutely incredible. It could fit 80,000 people back in its day and it could
be evacuated within around 30 minutes because of all the stairs. We saw
Constantine’s Triumphant Arch from the Coliseum. When we were leaving the Coliseum
it started to POUR slash hail for a bit. We got SOAKED and it was fun.We walked past The Forum, which was where the Roman’s big
city center was. It has all these remains from the buildings and the columns.
It was so cool. Rome is very lush, so the mix of that and the old buildings is
gorgeous. Then we went to The Pantheon, which means “all the Gods”. It was
extraordinary inside. The architecture was so cool to see. It is a big dome
with a circle at the top for light. We went to a delicious Italian dinner
afterwards and then wandered around Roma for a while.
P.S. there are SO many scooters and motorcycle’s that weave
through traffic. It’s crazy!
