Hey All, 08-07-08
Buongiorno from Roma. We just wanted to update you all and let you know that our flight went okay and the trip is on its way! Today we were lucky enough to see the Pantheon, which is the world’s largest concrete dome. Even when it rains the water drains. In addition, we saw the second largest Basilica in Rome; which is where St. Paul’s tomb is located. Capitol Hill, although under construction, was still a sight to see. We saw the Circus Maximus which is known for the infamous chariot races. The competition had seven laps which represented by the seven planets. After being up for almost 24 hours we decided to head back before our welcome dinner which was very delicious. We are looking forward to the trip to the Vatican. Hope all is well back in the states. Ciao!Labels: 1st Day In Roma
