Saturday. August 11th (continued)
After the Coliseum, I went to Palatine Hill and saw the Nero's chambers, as well as hundreds of other sites excavated or in the process of being excavated. Rome itself is ONE HUGE
archaeological paradise! Skyscrapers don't really exist, and everywhere you walk, you see ancient ruins! It is just awesome!
In addition to Palatine Hill, I saw St Angelo's Castle and St. Peter's Cathedral, both of which are on the opposite side of the Tiber River from the Coliseum. I also went to the Parthenon, saw Trevi Fountain, ate countless slices of pizza, had gnocchi for dinner, and drank about a liter of Peroni! Yeah, not a bad first day in Rome:)!
