A Dash of Ruins

Today I went into the Coluseum. The structure is amazing and once you enter the building you can really imagine what went on in the ampitheatre once upon a time. It has survived centuries and countless earthquakes that would of demolished our North American buildings. The grandios building is breathtaking to say the least. But I think the best was to describe it across the pond would be by photography.

I have also seen the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps.

The Pantheon is just big. Theres a cool dome inside of it though. The Spanish Steps are warmed by the sun and because they are so polished are really comfortable to sit on. The Trevi Fountain is gorgeous. It's like a ginormous beautiful bath filled with light aqua water and adorned with multiple statues and mini-pools.

One interesting thing about the Roman fountains is that all the water is drinkable. Literally, you can just fill up your water bottle in the fountains.
