Rome

Okay I'm a little behind, but I've been busy and when I stop I'm chatting with people so I don't have much time but I thought I'd drop a few lines for all you thirsty folk who are just dieing for a taste of The David, and all things that are good. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Rome was very nice. The Colosseum lived up to the hype, not something I saw about very many things. I got out of the metro stop at around 10pm and looked up at the Coloseum, all lit up in all it's relic like glory, not to be confused with the sort of glory one found in The Beach Combers. No but serious kids, I looked up at it and just paned across, back and forth for about 10 minutes before I even moved. It was a little bit moving, which I attribute to my fantasy prone personality and thirst for the past. This place saw so many people who fought for their lives just to entertain the masses, kind of like Americas Next Top Model. _____________________________________________________________________________________ I walked up to it and touched it, which is when I discovered that the stone was very soft. There were a lot of initials and names carved in it, because you can carve into it with your finger nails. I did a loop around and could picture the place as it once was. Rome is a very modern city build around so many ancient artifacts and remnants of its glory days. I don't like change, and I wish it still held it's original setting, but the main parts are all unaltered, just the roads and bits between have been built around the older bits. ________________________________________________________________________________ That's all I really want to say about Rome right now. I loved it. I saw a lot of places and hardly got lost at all. On a scale from 1 to 10, Rome gets a gold star. page load error, sorry no pics
