Feb. 27: Today we went to the Colosseum, But first we stopped at the Basilica San Giovanni in Laterano, and the Palatine hill. At the basilica we were only there for two or three minutes, but saw a five hundred year old grave for an important pope. Then we went to the Palatine hill, and saw lots of ruins, but got hot and had to leave. Last we went to the Colosseum, and went on a tour of the underground which was recently opened and where they kept the animals and gladiators. Then we were at home for a while before going out for dinner. At dinner we sat outside next to the Pantheon and it was lovely. Good bye for today.
