Rome Exploring

I'm too tired to make a big, fancy post, so I'll just outline what I did today:

• Colosseum
• Roman Forum
• some archaeological site I can't remember the name of now, but it has tons of temples and ruins and statues and they just recently excavated the site they believe to be Romulus' Temple that marked of the three corners of the original Rome.. soooo crazy
• lots of temples
• Pantheon
• Trevi Fountain
• gelato!
• tons of walking
• Castel St'Angel (which I instantly recognized from Angels & Demons... such a cool building. Used as the home to the pope for 1,000 years, and there's a secret underground tunnel connecting it to the Vatican. Awesome.)
• Delicious dinner at Maccheroni.. the restaurant Michelle Obama had dinner at when she decided to frolic around Italy for fun
• got caught in a DOWNPOUR and destroyed my shoes.. gotta go get some new walking shoes tomorrow:D
• went to the grocery story
• lots of fountains and obelisks, which I just find AMAZING.. like one I saw today from Rameses II, who reigned in 1200 BC. That is an unfathomable amount of time ago. My mind just reels.

Photos are on Facebook (I took 500 today.. so hard to narrow them down..). I'll post some tomorrow.

So excited for a 75 degree perfectly sunny day tomorrow:)
