Rome is such a "walkable" city. We stayed in the perfect location. We were just half a mile from the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. We also had a metro stop just around the corner. As we walked around Rome, we came across many historical and ancient sites. What an amazing place to experience. We enjoyed just walking and coming across places.
Here's what we found:
Jess was SO excited for our trip!
View from outside our hotel...indescribable.
Jordan and Jess at one of the many piazza around town
Beautiful orange trees.
Trevvi Fountain
mmm...
The Spanish Steps
Jordan enjoying the view from the top of the steps.
The popular shopping avenue with all the famous italian designers...a very busy place!
WWII memorial and museum
Castle Sant' Angelo
Heaven...
Piazza Navona.
The infamous piazza where Jordan was called up on stage to take part in a magic trick. =)
Gelato...one of the best parts of the trip
Olive Trees
The Vatican Museum entrance.
We could have spent hours in there, but the students were getting bored and were tired of waiting for us to read every single sign.
Hundreds of ceiling paintings done by Michelangelo
Sistine Chapel
Another wall of the Sistine Chapel
The famous "Creation of Adam" by Michelangelo
More ceiling pantings done by Michelangelo
The coolest staircase
The Pantheon.
The dome inside the Pantheon.
Since the ceiling is open, the floor has tiny holes for drainage when it rains.
Still holds church service on Sundays
