356661 5 Location 460362 Once we arrived to Rome and checked into our hotel, we walked down to the Colosseum and went inside to see it.  We stood in line for about 30 minutes and got the audio guide for our tour.  After the Colosseum, we walked through the Forum with our walking guide from Rick Steves.  We followed his guide and learned about most of the ruins that remain in the Forum.  It was very helpful and fun to have the guide. We then walked down Capitol Hill and over to the Pantheon.  It was dark by this time, but we were still able to go inside the Pantheon.  It actually started sprinkling while we were in there and could feel it coming through the dome.  We stopped for a quick dinner before heading to see the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps. We only saw the Trevi Fountain at night, but it was a great night scene.  There were lots of people sitting on the steps enjoying the view.  We grabbed a beer from a shop nearby and sat to watch people take pictures and throw coins over their shoulders.  Our last stop were the Spanish Steps, another big hang out at night.  We jumped on the Metro stop here and headed back to our hotel.  It was a long day of walking, but we saw most of the major landmarks in one day! 2009-01-09T06:56:27-08:00 589299713 2008-10-26T17:00:00-07:00 0 -9223372036854775790 165482 8113567 356661 0 188689 2.91579566350608 2008-10-23T17:00:00-07:00 Published 350.0 2009-01-09T06:56:27-08:00 99549 0
