Today was a hectic day but a productive day at that! I arose bright and early, eating breakfast at 8 and heading to the Colloseum by 9. In school I learned all about the gladiator fights and games that took place there, so to be able to see the Colloseum in real life was an exhiliarating experience. I then went to the Roman Forum, which I have also learned about in school. After exploring the forum, the group read a passage concerning Julius Caesar's death right next to his grave.
Next, the group headed up to the Capitoline Museum where we studied fantastic paintings and sculptures! Afterwards I grabbed some pasta with friends and we then shopped for gifts for our families. I will be watching the last Harry Potter movie with the group in just a few hours! It better be good. I must go get ready, we are all putting scars on our foreheads to fit in with the theme! Bye for now!
