Sorry about not posting for a while – the past couple of days have been full of travelling, scheduling stuff, and exploring Rome. Today we pretty much walked all over Rome – we saw the Colosseum, a LOT of Roman ruins dating back to roughly 900 B.C., many many monuments, and quite a few people trying to sell us stuff we don’t need. I actually just mapped out our route on maps.google.com and figured out that we walked approximately 14 miles today – no wonder my feet hurt! Both Josh and I have been wearing sandals all day – Nathan decided to have sweaty stinky feet and wore his shoes.
We tried to find a park while waiting for the day to cool down so we could explore the Basilica, but ended up getting slightly lost. We could see the park from where we were, but every entrance to it was blocked off or one level on the hill above us. We finally ended up next to a huge fountain that people were soaking their feet in. We unanimously decided that that looked like a good thing to do, so all of us plopped down and stuck our feet in the fountain. It was a much needed rest and the water was very cool and relaxing.
Tomorrow morning at around 10:45 we will set off for Naples and the Pompeii ruins and hopefully a beach somewhere to work on our tans. At least, Josh and I will be working on our tans. Nathan will be various shades of red. 
I guess that’s all for now until we make it to another internet cafe somewhere in Naples…only one week left in this great trip!
