Rome day two

Today we went to the Roman Coliseum (or Colloseum if you prefer). We took tours of the Coliseum and the Palatine Hill. We learned many facts, but the one that sticks with me is Nero married 5 times.... and 3 of them were women!!

Also, one tour guide told us that sometimes she has "problem" tourists. One, in particular, complained that she didn't like all the stories, but wanted only historical facts. Our guide told her that the marble she was standing on was used as a helicopter pad in the 1st century. To which, the tourist responded "Oh".

We also went to Fontana di Trevi (Trevi fountain). It was very beautiful. There was quite a crowd there. Kathie had gelato. And Melodee had a cherry crepe.

The weather here is great. It is a little humid, but the temperatures are fine especially in the evening.

Tomorrow is the Sistine, St Peter's and Raphael's with a  special dinner and Rome by night tour.
