Sono un gladiatore!

Sunday, 6 May 2007 | Views [249]

Today we went for an internal tour of the Colosseum. It wasn’t really a tour; it was more of a make up your own version of where things were in the Colosseum because we didn’t want to pay for a tour like Kristi and Alexia. The Colosseum was cool ... Read more >

Saturday, 5 May 2007 | Views [304]

We went on a tour of Vatican City today and it was beautiful. It was weird to go to a place that I have read about and seen books about and see on TV. To actually be there was really cool. We went into the Sistine Chapel at first, and I was ... Read more >
