Ancienter Rome

Today was Father's Day which has nothing to do with what we did today. We  started today by going to a cafe for a breakfast of a packet of Oreos then we took the tram to the Trevi Fountain which is an amazing  fountain. The previous day, we had visited the Pantheon, a church not very beautiful but it has an amazing history.

Anyway, after the Trevi Founatin we took a cab to Piazza Venetzia where Kate and I did a tour of the ruins of an old Roman mansion. It was pretty scary but amazing. The house was destroyed by an earthquake and finished off by a fire. Archeologists discovered the ruins in only 2007. We were not allowed to take pictures but they use digital images on the walls so we could imagine how they used to live. We went home to have a rest then walked to our local piazza or square and had chops and potatoes for dinner.
