Roman Ruins

I think my imagination’s picture of Ancient Rome failed to capture the grandiose beauty of what the city once was. To see the size of the structures, and then to think that these were all faced with marble is incredible. I’m still struggling to wrap my mind around what this all once looked like, but seeing what remains blows me away.

Day 0/1

Attached (somewhere) is a vlog of some of our Day 0 and 1 highlights. We flew out of JFK ~11pm EST Saturday and landed in Rome around noon local time. We headed back to the hotel before beginning a walking tour of Rome that led us to Largo di Torre Argentina, the suppose site of Caesar’s famous death, Palazzo Montecitorio, home of the current Italian government, the Colosseum, and the Pantheon. We had a phenomenal dinner at Emma, before grabbing gelato at heading back to the hotel. Super excited for Day 2!
