July 12, 2015 – Rome, Italy

Today was our first and last full day in Rome.  We walked and covered most of the city, starting with the Pantheon.  It is amazing building and piece of architecture.

Throughout the day we continued with our audio tour app, a great way to learn more about each site.  Did you know that the columns for the Pantheon were carved out of a single piece of stone in Egypt and then transported to Rome?

In the afternoon, after an enjoyable and delicious handmade pasta lunch (at least for 3 of us.  Kelsey continued her streak of eating pizza, again), we saw The Forum and toured the Colosseum.

What day would be complete without a stop for gelato?  We recommend gelato by the Trevi Fountain.  Unfortunately the fountain itself is under repair.
