Last day in Rome

Having had spent two weeks in Rome has honestly been a life changing experience. It has disciplined my character and has awoken me to new dreams. On my last day, I decided to go see the inside of the Colosseum. The class was suppose to go inside the Colosseum while out but it opened late and so class ended early. I told myself that I cannot leave Rome unless I've seen the inside of the Colosseum, even if it meant going alone and paying for it again. So I got on the bus, and went to the Colosseum, waited in line, and then entered the field of the Gladiators. It was, spectacular. It's funny how in the movies they portray the Colosseum as this enormously big stadium, I mean it's pretty big. But it's not as big as it is displayed in the movie Gladiator. I think going by myself was actually a pretty good idea because I was there for 40 minutes taking pictures and listening to my ipod. Going to the Colosseum and being alone let me reflect my journey away from home. Away from technology, social networks, American culture, but mostly American attitudes. Overall this trip has opened my eyes to different venues, different languages, different people, different colors.
