We walked over to the Roman Forum. I learned the Renaissance actually caused the current state of the Forum. When Michelangelo walked through several hundred years ago, the structures still resembled those of Julius Cesar's time. The Popes and artists of the sixteen century pillaged the marble to create St. Pete's and other buildings.
The kids focused on their balloon animals during the tour.
They also enjoyed playing on the ancient stones.
We rested and enjoyed a snack.
We ended the tour at the Colosseum.
Owen hid from the ghosts of the lions who haunt the stadium.
