The day before yesterday we got up and went outside in the pouring rain. We didn't realize that the puddles on the road and the cars speeding past the bus station were not the best combo. I got splashed all the way up to the ends of my shorts... So we went back inside for a while, then emerged again when the sun came out. After that, we did the classic tourist thing and visited the Forum, where all the semi famous old ruins are. Then we visited the palatine and the Colosseum. The Colosseum was amazing! Selfies...
The next day we went to Ostia Antica, an ancient Roman town that is super well preserved, to the point of being able to climb up onto second-story buildings from 2000 years ago. I went exploring off into the ruins and found some pretty cool stuff:
I highly recommend a visit, as most people skip going there, which is a mistake:) After the ruins, we went to the beach! Now I can say I've swum in the Mediterranean Sea!
We all got sunburns though....
Today we went to the Vatican and the catacombs. It was very unique... And fun!
