1pm.
Cristen and i are sitting on the steps of teh colosseum watching some kids play. we got up at 10am and showered. it was my first shower in a few days so it was amazing. then we walked to the Via Cavour which took us past santa maria maggiore directly into the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill. i walked right to the column of trajan and then back past the vittorio emmanuele 2 monument then on to the campidoglio (which is smaller than i thought). walking out of the campidoglio we saw a wedding which was beautiful and cristen kept stalking them trying to get a picture. as you walk down the hill to the left of the campidoglio you see the entire palatine hill and colosseum. we just wandered through a lot of it and are taking a break now. we have almost 2 euros in cash between the two of us....so we are gonna see how long that lasts!!
2:30pm
we are resting in the Giardini Piazza Vittorio which is a park about 2 blocks from our hostel. as we were walking back from the colosseum we found a little bakery and had a delicious sandwich (panini) and ate it as we walked back through the piazza di santa maria maggiore. now we are just going to rest up so we can be good for tonight. across the street is a really beautiful bulding with a covered arcade in front that has several really beautiful marble inlaid patterns....AHH ROME!
