Oh My Gosh-Thats the Colosseum!!

Last night when the lady who helps out at the place we are staying left she said she would be here at 9 to make us breakfast.  When we got up in the morning she had left some bread with jam.  Yummy.. I concluded that in Italy breakfast is not the most important meal of the day, but they did have a pretty sweet toaster!

Emma in the t-shirt and socks the airport gave us!

After breakfast we went to the Inn and checked on our luggage and they said that they found Emma's but not mine :( So for now we are wearing the clothes they gave us in a little bag; they are very spiffy!

Anyways, today we traveled all over Rome! For having over 3 million people it is surprisingly small and we could get across town on foot easily! Here, it seems, everyone lives on top of each other!

The Colosseum

First we saw the Colosseum!! It was so surreal to see, what we have only seen in pictures, right in front of us! There were a lot of people at the Colosseum and we got to practice more Italian today; mostly asking people to take pictures for us!

After the Colosseum we went and saw many other things.

Fontana di Trevi

Una chiesa bellissima!!

Some ruins beside the Colosseo 

Piazza Navona

We visited the Fontana di Trevi and there were more people than live in Scott City!  It was nose to nose people but it was worth it! So beautiful!  The  Church in the upper right was one of the most gorgeous things I have ever seen. The ceiling was covered in beautiful paintings and the walls were made out of marble and gold. When we went to the Colosseum there were a lot of other very interesting ruins that Emma and I looked at for along time!  The Piazza Navona is a huge square with a lot of fountains and a lot of tourists. When the Piazzas were used for something other than to take pictures of they were places people met together and sometimes conducted political meetings and whatnot.

We are having so much fun and are so excited to meet our host family tomorrow! Still no sign of our luggage but we are praying that it finds us!!

Buonanotte!
From Roma!
Ciao!
