It was a fun day of walking around the Roman Forum area, getting plans together for the rest of the week. We have the Colosseum scheduled for later in the week. The entire Rome experience was a blast. The mountain of history here is quite overwhelming for a California boy. I told someone there that “Where I’m from a building is old if it was built 100 years ago”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
