6 Continents, 5 Months

Today we decided to explore the city of Rome. The Colosseum was the number one thing I wanted to see. So that's what we went to first. It was incredible! I never could imagine that it was 2500 years old! That's older that Jesus haha! Half was torn down by the Catholics or by the earthquakes and the interior was stripped of the marble. It's insane that the entire interior was once covered in white marble. Our tour guide informed us that the movie Gladiator has about 1000 faults of history in it, but I still love that movie. After the Colosseum, we went on another tour to explore the grounds around the Colosseum. I couldn't believe it the first time our guide told us but .... had his house/temple built for him and it was 40 acres, that's huge! It consisted of three stories above ground and two underground. Each story was 19.5 meters high! Inside his living room, he had a small lake and a walkway leading to his temple, inside his living room! We also we to Cesuras Palace and to where they spread Cesuras ashes! It was crazy! I didn't have and coins on me, so when I was approached by a gypsy, she put a hex on me for not giving her money, it was so funny! The pizza here is still amazing as ever!
