Roma Day 3

Today was the day one of my very best and oldest friend turned 21! I wish I could be there but I know she had an amazing day! The previous night some new roommates had arrived. There was a lady staying there that decided to wake up at 5 in the morning. Oh and she needed to turn on her light. I am not a morning person so that did not make me happy. We stood in line at the Roman Forum. We had heard that the line was shorter and we could buy tickets to both the Forum and the Colosseum. The forum was pretty great and the weather was amazing!





Then we went to the Colosseum.

I have said it a million times but the Colosseum is the coolest place I've been in my short 20 year life. I have been to a relatively large amount of places/cool things thankfully. Still, the Colosseum is by far the coolest. I am always struck by the enormity of it. It has been around for so long and through so much stuff. The significance of events that took place here is hard to not feel. Sure now there's a million people always walking around, taking pictures, and listening to audioguides or tour guides over headphones, but if you ignore that it really is amazing.



Then we went to the Trevi Fountain. I also love love love this place! I, of course, made wishes!




We also stuck around and got some people watching in. I love to people watch. I saw some best friends on vacation.

our future (plus 2 more obviously)


Then we went to the Spanish Steps. We climbed then and enjoyed the view. We also went into the church at the top.



We also got some good pics of the colosseum at night. Another long but enjoyable day.
