Day Three: Colosseum

Not too much happened today...

We started this morning with a tour of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. It was extremely hot! I think I drank 5-6 bottles of water today. There is a slight possibility that I am a little sunburnt too.  I feel like these pictures are probably the exact same as my Rome post from two years ago haha. 




After our tour, we had free time the rest of the day. We went to a Ducati restaurant, meaning that you could not only order lunch, but also take a Ducati ride around Rome. One of our parents paid for her son to take the 15 min ride--he loved it!


We spent the rest of the afternoon eating gelato and resting in the shade. We met a flight attendant who was spending her layover in Rome. She has been working at American Airlines for 29 years. She had some fun stories to tell, and she was very interested in our EF travel group and our drama from last night. 


We had an amazing lasagna for dinner! I ended up eating with our tour director, and spent the evening discussing education in Italy v. America. It's always intriguing to hear someone else's perspective on issues. He is thinking about becoming a history teacher after 12 years of working with EF. 

We will be leaving Rome tomorrow and heading to Capri/Sorrento.
