Hey, friends. I know I keep bringing this up, buuuuuut... we're leaving the UK tomorrow. And I'm sort of freaking out. We've been packing our suitcases for the past week or so {attempting to pack is probably a more accurate description} and we have clothes everywhere. I have a ton of clothes, but
nothing to wear every day. Odd, isn't it?
So while I'm frantically trying to pack up our little life in Scotland and scrounge around the house for Monopoly money we still need to use before tomorrow, here's the second part of our trip to Rome.
I had obviously seen a million photos of the Colosseum before planning our trip, so I knew that it was massive, but I wasn't expecting to hop off the metro and... BAM!!... For it to pop out of nowhere, looming over us. It's truly a magnificent structure! We set aside an entire afternoon to explore and used our Roma pass for free entry. And another plus --we got to skip the lengthy line!
As soon as we made it inside the Colosseum, I stopped dead in my tracks and just stared. I couldn't believe we were actually there!
We tried to get both the arch and the Colosseum in this photo... it sort of worked.
If you're planning a trip to Italy, I highly recommend stopping in Rome for a visit to the Colosseum; you won't regret it. And be sure to come back at night with your sweetheart, grab some wine at the sidewalk drink stand, set up a tripod, and take beautiful photos! How romantic...
That last pic is beautiful! You need to blow that up and frame it!
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel! Amazing pictures!! Over from the hop and excited to be a new follower. Look forward to reading your blog a bit more.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the move, Rachel! My husband and I go back and forth about returning to the UK in the future, and as much as I would love to, it is such a big move I've already done twice now that I'm afraid to do it all over again- if that makes any sense? Best of luck while you settle back into your life in the USA :)

ReplyDeleteWe went to Rome while living in Italy for a few months back in March 2012. Loved the city, but a word of advice to any mama readers you might have: don't take a stroller to Rome. The lovely cobblestones are not stroller-friendly at all. Baby carriers are a must.
