Hi Ashley! This is Marilyn in Rome! Its great here, the temples to the roman gods are beautiful and they have awesome festivals and feasts for their patron god Jupiter. The theaters are another great place to visit. They have many plays that feature heroes from the old days and comedies and tragedies. The good news is that its easy to get around in Rome because its made in a grid pattern, if you get lost, just take a turn at the next intersection, its so simple! The aquaducts really caught my eye when I was strolling past the Forum ( markets, government offices, restaurants ). Its basically a pipe made out of stone in which you can walk on and get water from. At the amphitheater, I saw gladiator battles that had me at the edge of my seat cheering for the warriors when they fought the lions and tigers or other warriors, at the hippodrome I saw the really cool chariot races that are made from basically a wooden basket on two wheels that are pulled by one or two horses. The roads really amazed me by how they were complete with the paved streets and the gutters and even have a sewer system.
Ciao,
Marilyn
