The Colosseum

On my first trip back to the Colosseum, my roommates and I fell into the trap of getting our pictures taken with one of the "gladiators". Bad decision. Although we now have some priceless photographs the wimpy guy posing as a gladiator tried to rip us off. My advice, which worked for us- simply walk away. Our gladiator tried to charge us 10 Euro! That is $15 USD! I wish we could have fed him to the lions!
After our run in with the rob-you-blind-gladiator we enjoyed some cold beers on the lawn in front of the Colosseum. I highly recommend doing this in the evening because the Colosseum is beautifully lit at night.
Tomorrow I am leaving for Cinque Terre, expect some incredible photographs early next week!

Ciao for now!
