Colosseo

What an experience to actually go inside the Roman Colosseum.  Imagine...it has been standing for over 2000 years, and still the mortar is in place and you can walk on the concourse.  Of course lots of structure is missing but Hell, the Brown's stadium needs $30 million of renovations already!  I can't believe this stadium that held 60,000 people took only 8 years to build, considering the lack of machines that we take for granted today.

We also stopped at the Termini, the main train and bus station...amazing.  It is as big as 4 football fields under roof and is two stories of shops...looks like a mall.  .There are 50 platforms you can use to board trains.


We also visited the Trevi Fountain.  Look at all the people surrounding the pool of water.  Behind the fountain itself is a magnificent wall of statues.
