My ticket to the Forum and Palatine yesterday gained me admission to the Colosseum today. After thinking of how to allot my time between class, running, and the Colosseum, I finally decided on run, class, Colosseum, and then class. So after class, I hopped on the 75 and headed to the Colosseum. Holey moley, it is huge. I was next to it yesterday but it really hit me today. In a weird way, it reminded me of the Palestra. Just a grand and historic sporting arena. Absolutely stunning. Afterwards, I still had plenty of time before class so I decided to get gelato. I got creme caramel--it was very delicious and I really wanted more! But anyway, it was just another day roaming around Rome.
Oh, I forgot! Two things. One, they had tickets and assigned seating back in the day at the Colosseum. I thought that was interesting. Two, I had a pop quiz in microeconomics today and it was about the market for hot chocolate. Naturally, after class, I got hot chocolate.
