Today we went to:
1. The Roman Forum
2. The Colosseum
3. Palatine Hill
4. The Arch of Constan...tine
5. The San Pietro in Vincoli church
6. The Victor Emmanuel Monument
7. The Piaza Venezia
8. The Pantheon
9. A random cafe for Internet
Interesting notes corresponding to their numbers:
1. The Roman Forum had a lot of ruins. The Roman Forum is made up of ruins; ruins and the place Julius Cesar was burned after getting stabbed in the back, literally. There are flowers and notes (?) placed on the site.
2. Big. Also made up of ruins. Not very exciting, but at least we got in for free using our...ROMA pass!
3. Also had some ruins. Was a nice hill.
4. Small. Unimpressive, but then again it was the Arch of Constan...tine not Constan...za.
5. Cool. Had the chains used on Saint Peter? Also had a sculpture of Moses with horns by Michelangelo. Why horns? Well, they had misinterpreted the Hebrew word for "rays" as "horns."
6. Really bright!
7. Not like Venice! We would know we've been there.
8. Large. Well preserved. Lots of people.
9. Had Argentina flag in it's window and the Messi jersey inside...that's why we went in.
*Random*
We saw the bat-mobile! Or what would be Batman's car if he was in Rome and not rich enough to buy the high tech one from the movies. It was heading to the "bati cueva." (Rememer Papi?)
