Roma day 2

We started off the day with some free breakfast at the hotel. From there I went with the rest of the group for our a Roman tour. We first went to the forum:

The forum was the Main Street where everything business wise for the government was centered. It held a lot of important buildings from the past and nowadays is being renovated:

I thought the flowers here were very pretty:

Almost everything here is over 1500 years old! :

A giant theater used by the emperor to address his people:

The arch of Titus:

Another very pretty tree with a map underneath:

The Coliseum in the distance of the Forum:

Walking through the coliseum:

After our little coliseum tour, I got some hot chocolate cause it was raining and then we headed to the Spanish Steps: 

Outside of the Parthenon:

After the Parthenon, we went out to an expensive dinner and then retreated home in preparation for meeting the pope tomorrow morning.
