Well, today we crossed the final major thing off our list and that was the colosseum. We got to bypass a line of like a thousand people because we bought the Roma pass! Best thing we could have done, it also has been giving us unlimited public transportation. So anyhow, it was very big and interesting but not as much as the forum. Also it was much more packed in there, but did you know that they killed 9000 wild animals in 100 days to inaugurate the coliseum? And once it fell into disrepair and they didn't know what to do with it they used it as a burial ground? True, and the bodies are still under there. Also they built it on the site of a former rulers am made lake when they gave the space back to the people.
Sooo tonight we walked around and saw the Spanish steps, Trevi fountain and some oth neat stuf! Tomorrow is our last day then I'll be back in Spain and I'll try to get some pictures up this weekend after mom leaves.
