Day 10
Rome
We spent the morning exploring the amazing Colosseum! Rob and I took a tour of the Colosseum, Palatine Hill and the Forum and it was fabulous. I highly recommend doing a tour of these places because if you don't, you miss out on a lot of info. It will just look like a bunch of old fallen structures, especially in the Forum. I am still in awe of those areas in Rome, they are truly amazing. Our tour guide of was hilarious and full of interesting facts. We will definitely use her next time we go too! Just a quick little lesson on these places from Wikipedia! Check them out!

Palatine Hill
One of the many pine trees, a symbol of fertility! I rubbed it for good luck!

I just think it was all so pretty!
Rob was so freakin cute! He loved asking our guides questions and loved all the history!
We stopped by the spanish steps as well to take in the atmosphere! Its always jam packed with people hanging out and people watching, my favorite!
I can tell you guys had so much fun. It would be great to learn all of the history behind Rome while you're there:)
