A VERY Full Day

We definitely took advantage of our first full day in Rome and saw soooo many incredible things! I loved all of it. It is so mind boggling to think about how old all this is.
 Coliseum 
Paletine Hill, Roman Forum, and all the ruins.
 St. Clemente church. I couldn't take pictures inside the really cool part, which is excavated churches beneath it. You basically walk down through history all the way to a pagan temple.
 Michelangelo's Moses at the Basilica of St. Peter in Chains
 Circus Maximus- This is where thousands of Christians died during the persecution of the early church. 
 Bronze she-wolf nursing Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome. This image is ALL over the city.
 Capitol building.
 Lasagna that was out of this world! 
We finished off the day with gelato in the Piazza Navona. I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
