We spent the day walking through the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Roman Forum. More amazing stuff. Jared is the expert here. Since there are little or no signs anywhere telling us what this ruin is or where that column is from, we depend on the crappy little maps from either our guidebooks or that map McDonald’s has been kind enough to provide for free. More photos from yesterday are up on Flickr.
Here is a good photo Mike took of the Roman Forum. You can sort of imagine this was once a city street. Click for a larger view.
Here’s a few more of us at the Colosseum.
We’re off to the Capuchin Crypt, then the Spanish Steps area and to Galleria Borghese.
Later tonight, Glenn Barr, Bob Dob, and Daniel Martin Diaz will be signing books at Mondo Bizzarro, so we’ll swing by there.
