Italy 3This summer I went to Tuscany for two weeks and then I traveled down to Rome for three days and two nights.  In Rome we saw soooo many cool old things from long ago.  On the first day when we arrived in Rome from the train from Florence we went to see the Vatican.  It was so huge and amazing compared to the Duomo in Florence, which we saw two days before.  Italy 2The next day at 8:30 AM we walked out of our hotel to see the Forum, Palatine hill and the Colosseum.  I thought it was truly amazing what the romans did and how they did it.  The big elevators to boost the animals and people into the Colosseum to fight.  How they had aviaries and forums and markets for many emperors.  Then we ate lunch at two and walked from around there, to the Pantheon then to Trevi Fountain which to our dismay was under renovation, and last, to the Spanish Steps, then back to the hotel.

I learned from my trip to Rome that even the people a long long time ago knew more things than we do right now.  Because if the barbarians hadn’t taken over and lost all the Romans knowledge we could probably be teleporting.Italy 4
