After breakfast at the hotel, we took a taxi to the Coliseum. The line was long, but we eventually got in. I was amazed by the history, architecture and splendor that I imagine it once had. Now it seems old and worn out. It was used as a quarry after it's heyday. All the marble was stripped. I can't understand why anyone would have done that.
From there we took a cab to the Pantheon. I'm pretty sure the driver took us in circles around the block, before finally arriving. Oh well, it was only 5 euros. The Pantheon is the oldest church in Rome, with an enormous domed roof that architects sill can not replicate. Raphael was buried there (and still is).
After lunch I followed Emily and Shannon around as they went shopping. They were looking for Italian shoes and clothes from Miss Sixty, but found neither. We ate dinner at a restaurant in the shopping district. I had quite possibly the best pesto sauce ever. I got more gellato after dinner, but was too full to finish.
