Roma!

I'm not going to go on and on about our trip because photos are worth a thousand words. We had a wonderful time and saw so much! It was really an amazing experience. Every day was packed full with tours of places that I had only read about in history books. It was an exhausting trip but well worth the time and money. Although, the Romans are pretty proud of their Coca-Cola...to the tune of $3-6 U.S. dollars per can! We drank a lot of water.

The Center of Vatican City


St. Peter's Basilica




This is a real pope who was embalmed and entombed in St. Peter's Basilica:




The Colloseum


They have been cleaning the Colloseum; check out all the pollution that's accumulated over the years:




This is showing the holding places that are located underneath the Colloseum floor where they held the fighters and animals prior to the games:



The Arch of Constantine

Beautiful pictures! Looks like you guys had a fun time despite the rough beginning. That's a sad story! At least you got a cool new car out of it. Can't wait to see more pics.
