As soon as we woke up this morning we realized had been too focused on raging the night before and forgot to book our Ancient Rome Tour for today. After scrambling around for a bit, we found a bus tour that would take us around to the important sites with an audio recording that told us fun facts about each place. Maybe not as good as a real live tour guide, but on a hot Rome day (proximal to 95 degrees) less walking was more premium.
Our first stop was the Colosseum—-amazing in Gladiator but even better in person. The place is huge and mad old. After stopping for drinks (we were un-quenchable that day) we got back on the bus and visited the Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, and finally the Trevi Fountain, which may have been my favorite stop in Rome. The thing is massive and just altogether epic. Italy hasn’t rolled out something so awesome since Mario and Luigi. I guess it’s true what they say: When in Rome…
We stopped on the way home for some authentic Italian pasta and seafood (mussels, clam, and shrimp pasta):

then headed for the train station en route to Florence. Really it was a pretty long day, filled with lots of sight-seeing, but summed up pretty easily I guess. Any suggestions of things to do in Florence, Paris, or Barcelona, leave 'em in the comment sections please. Thanks -Sneaky 'n' Shel
