Dear Friends & Family:
So I have returned to Denmark after a long winter holiday, full of adventures. I have started school this week and am quite excited to use my brain & get back to a routine.
My brother Russell and I had a wonderful time in Italy. I have so many pictures and stories I am going to post them in sections :)
Hope you enjoy!
We had a 15 ft. door and a tiiiny cut out to enter into. Russell had to enter sideways each time ha. Every day we would say "baby door!"
How European-- a baday in our bathroom.
The Colosseum, built in AD 72 for deadly gladiatorial combats and wild animal fights. These were staged free of charge by the emperor and wealthy citizens for public viewing.
The Colosseum has 80 arched entrances allowing easy access to 55,000 spectators.
Arch of Constantine.
The Palatine was a very desirable place to live, becoming home to some of the city's most famous inhabitants.
Private sports stadium inside the Palatine.
The Forum was the centre of political, commercial, and judicial life in ancient Rome. The largest buildings were the basilicas, where legal cases were heard.
The three columns of this temple was dedicated in 484 BC in honor of the mythical twins and patrons of horsemanship, Castor and Pollux.
This triumphal arch was erected in AD 81 by the Emperor Domitian in honor of the victories of his brother Titus.
The Victor Emmanuel Monument, erected in honor of Victor Emmanuel II of Savoy, the first king of a unified Italy.
