Another busy day in Rome

We are getting our steps up while we are in Rome. The task of the day is to get a photo of the little bird that keeps flying in our apartment. He is very elusive.
Headed out to look at the underground stadium that was discovered under Piazza Navona. The two things I took from this is that all sports were competed naked (strange) and that lots of the them were savage.
From there we did a Colosseum and Palantine Hill tour, which was incredibly interesting but also brutal for the million plus lives (mainly animal) that were lost there. We were lucky enough to be the only people on our tour and our guide was a PHD History major who, when not taking tours, is working on archaeological digs around the world. What a boring life she must lead.
We are very much enjoying the food and wandering the streets at night. Graham is enjoying the wine.Weiterlesen
