I'm beat.

Just got back from walking around what seems like the entire city of Rome. We hit the Coliseum, the Roman Forum, the Arch of Constantine, Palatine Hill and everything in between. 

It was a soggy day that started out promising and slowly degenerated in to a very wet, windy day. 

Overall, though, I have to say that it was a day of massive monuments and ancient egos. Everything we saw today had to do with propaganda and self-aggrandizement of the ancient Emperors. It was such a treat to be able to see these fantastic monuments and to be taken around by such an incredible guide. 

Felix, Professor Fonrobert's son, was on another hyper-active rampage today. There must be 35 people watching out/babysitting this little trouble maker, and it still feels like there aren't enough people! I'm very impressed with his energy and his stamina--what a trooper and what an adorable little punk. 

I'm off to take a nap before dinner. I hope all is well and I'll post again tomorrow!
