What an amazing day! Once again it started off very early with my blasting alarm! My roommates Julia, Mary Alex, Elizabeth and I made our way to breakfast and to meet up with the rest of the group around 7:15am! The breakfast spread of eggs, bacon, cereal, coffee and so much more was delicious! Next we all headed to our charter bus which took us to the colosseum. It was just what I expected it to look like.
With its high walls and exposed holding area (for the slaves and animals about to fight) it was as if I took a jump back in time and could hear the crowd roaring! I must say, I do wish I could have seen an actual fight in the colosseum!
Our group then headed to the Roman forum! Our wonderful tour guide Lorenzo made the tour so much fun and full of passion. This man definitely loves the history of his country!
