Giorno Cinque


We made it back to the Colosseum and made it in! It was another incredible experience. I didn't know much about Nerone and all of the Gladiator activities so it was great to read up on those and then to see the real Colosseum. 

These men are crazy! And will do and say all sorts of crazy things to get you to take a picture of them. They told us they loved us and also that we weren't beautiful we were sexy. Also, one of the girls in our group may or may not have been kissed on the cheek! 
This whole place used to be covered in white marble. Can you imagine how blinding!




The Arch of Trajan
 After the Colosseum we walked over to the Forum, more historical ancient ruins, but really amazing and interesting ones!

The Cathedral of Rome. Piazza di Porta S. Giovanni



This is a darling Pizzeria called Io e Mamma. We went in and ordered our food and when I asked if I could take a picture she was thrilled. "Of me?" she asked with a giant grin. Then she said, "One minute, one minute, mamma!" she then ran and got her mom! I love them! Service was perfect, pizza was delicious, and it was super cheap as well!
