Dear readers, today I am going to bring you back to my time in Rome. It was a sunny Monday morning when my family and I made our way to the Colosseum, one of my top bucket-list goals ever since I got into gladiatorial history! The night before we stood outside of the colosseum gates just so we could get a glimpse of what we where going to see the next day.
At the Colosseum we booked the full tour, which was awesome! We got to go to the underground, ground floor, and the normal inside tour! The tour was in Italian because those were the only tickets left but it was still awesome. And here is a link to what the colosseum underground was used for in the Roman times. Awesome Colosseum Underground Video. The history behind all of it is extremely fascinating!
After that we went into the gift shop of course! I confess that I spent 40 dollars there😬! Though it was well worth it. I got a replica of an ancient Caesar coin, and a bronze model of a gladiator helmet! I picked up a few other trinkets along the way too, but those two were the main things that burned a hole in my pocket. I still admire them with all my heart even after all these weeks.😊
After that of course we went to the Roman Forum, arguably one of the best social spots in history (other than the science and history section of the library). It was amazing luckily I did my research, so when we got there, I was basically the tour guide! It was so fun!
We also visited other attractions like The Spanish Steps and Trevy Fountain.
So, my dear readers I hope you all have a good December and I will update soon. FWI readers I updated my book list and the things I do in my free time blog posts. Also for my dear friends I am so sorry that I have not FaceTime in a long time. We have been busy and with not good internet.
