Our next part of our trip was a quick flight to Rome. After a small baggage issue with Air Italia, we were on our way to the hotel to plan our next adventure. We laid out a map, and started planning what to see and routes to get around. First up, the Coliseum. Once you get here, you can help but think of Maximus in Gladiator. Dudes getting served in this joint like WWF Saturday Night's Main event.

Here's the Roman Forum which is directly across from the Coliseum. In the center of the picture is the most famous of the 3 arches, the Arch of Constantine. It looks much like the one above, but is definately is worse shape. How all this stuff is still standing, let alone how it was built back then without cranes, and Bob Vila's, I have no idea.
[The next day we went to Vatican City. I've always seen it on tv, but in person its huge.]

[Heres a pic of the ceiling inside the Vatican]
[Dispite the drizzle, thre's nothing like having breakfast in the courtyard surrounding the Pantheon]
[The most famous fountain in Rome, and an awesome kick it spot. Fontana Di Trevi]
I think that's enough with the landmarks. Some of the most fun we had was just venturing through the streets and different hoods. Hopefully I can get off my lazy bum and post those pics soon too.
