We began our first full day in Rome with a walk to "Campo de Fiori," which is an open-air market tucked away in a quaint piazza. We browsed around and bought a few souvenirs from the locals. After a quick lunch it was time for our first guided tour. On this day we took a 4 hour "Ancient Rome" walking tour, which took us to the Pantheon, the Roman Forum, the Colosseum, and more. Our guide "Sarah" was great. She gave us such a wealth of information. The Colosseum especially blew us away. I had wanted to visit that place my entire life. My head was spinning just walking around the place. Anyway, it was a long day with a lot of walking but it was worth it. The kids held up great. And we of course treated ourselves that night to a great dinner and gelato.
