Rome - The Colosseum & Roman Forum

Undoubtedly what will be the highlight of my experience here, we went to visit the Colosseum and Roman Forum today. I'm not going to go into a lot of detail, but just wanted to say that this was an awesome, eye-opening, awe-inspiring, and exhausting experience. My thanks to my awesome fianceé for pre-buying our tickets so we got to completely bypass the ricidulous lines of tourists...suckers. Love you babe! I was pretty sad when we took our final steps out of the Colosseum, thinking I may never get to see this incredible place again.

We met a small group from Athens, Greece in the Colosseum with whom Amy buddied up with for a bit. Greece is her favorite place and she strongly claims that either we will get married on the Greek Isles or we will honeymoon there. I'm fairly certain I should get a say in that, but she seems to disagree...

The amount of walking during this part of the trip definitely tested the endurance capabilities of the legs supporting this 6'4" body. Amy zoomed around just fine, even when we back tracked across the Roman Forum a couple of times, forgetting to see something here or there. I've got a feeling that Advil stock is increasing as we make our way through this trip.
