Rome

Rome was the best part of our trip! We spend 2 days seeing the sights and shopping(of course). After leaving the Vatican our tour continued onto the Circus Maxi-mus, The Colosseum and then the Forum. We didn't go inside any of these places but everything in Rome is fairly open. That night we had dinner at a lovely Italian restaurant and then had an illumination tour of Rome at night. We saw the Pantheon, Spanish Steps, The Piazza Novona Fountain(Fountain of the 4 rivers) and The Trevi Fountain. I'll never forget it.

Here is a video of few places we stopped during the night tour.


After spending the day walking around we went to bed and woke up the next morning ready to see the sights all over again. I learned so much about traveling in Europe during this trip. I'll share my pointers with you in another blog that will soon follow. Anyways, Rome was amazing. I'll just post pictures so you can see for yourself.

The Vittoriano (Monument to the King of Italy)










The Trevi Fountain




The Forum (ruins of ancient government buildings)
















They have these water fountains all over the city and are perfectly healthy to drink from!


The Colosseum






Totally Cameron's idea!










The Pantheon


















*Sorry there's so many pictures--I took over 700 so this is the SHORT SHORT version.
