ROME

We stepped off the train and walked into a 3000 year old gift from an Egyptian Pharaoh. That pretty much sums up the awe of Rome. Every street has an Ancient relic, some more than one....they just erupt from the ground and people walk by without even turning their heads.....??


The Colosseum really is a wonder, and all of the exposure in TV and books, and the thousands of tourists, don't take away from it's grandeur.


We visited the Palatine Hill, where they are still excavating villages from as early as the 5th Century BC.....the age of the ruins and the amount of structures still standing is overwhelming......
