The 10 day countdown has begun!

Today is dedicated to the Coliseum, the largest built in Roman history. Completed in 80 AD, it can seat up to 50,000 people. If' you've seen "Gladiator" it looks just a little more dusty than the movie (haha) but is still so massive that it just tastes your breath away.

To take the tour it can be anywhere from 20-50 euro depending on which tour you chose. The dungeon tour seems the most worth it to me. Be sure to check out the ruins around it, you can see some pretty interesting carvings under the arches; a testament to the suppression of certain religions at that time.

I'm so excited this trip is only 10 days away that I am pretty much packed already. If packed means I have a huge lump of stuff by the door to pack, it's pretty.
