Ancient Rome

On our walk Saturday morning we passed the Column of Marcus Aurelius...

And the Column of Trajan on our way to the Forum.

We took a guided tour of the ancient Forum, and Linda and I were both surprised by how good our guide was. I actually learned a lot about the different buildings and layers of the forum.

We made our way over to the Palatine Hill, where they were having some sort of focus on the flower beds and plantings. This sunken garden is enhanced with some glass to brighten it up.

The view from the hill of course includes the Colosseum!

I have to say, it was pretty exhausting walking around in the sun all morning! We had a much more relaxed evening...
