Italy as I always dreamed it would be!

Tonight was it. That moment I have been dreaming about for so long. I literally had my breath taken away. The size of some of the buildings, along with the age is mind boggling!

We decided to go on the optional pizza party dinner tonight. It included a few sight seeing things, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to finally see some of Rome. I was not disappointed. Ancient ruins, tiny Smart cars, it was quite a mixture. We saw the area where "Ben Hur" supposedly took place, Capitoline Hill, the Tiber river, the ruins of some ancient baths,a view of the Forum from Capitoline Hill, and the Colosseum at night. Man that was amazing! We ate dinner at this amazing little pizza place right across the street from the Colosseum. If I leaned over in my chair I could see the arches of the Colosseum as I ate my pasta, pizza and drank some Italian red wine!  
Fantastico!!!
