What I Saw:

Today I saw St Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican Museum with lots of artwork and the Sistine Chapel.  It is the most beautiful thing in the world.  I also saw the Coliseum, the Roman Forum, Ancient Rom and the Trevi Fountain.  I thought the Coliseum was awesome.

My Favorite Part of the Day:

My favorite part of the day was eating ice cream.  My other favorite part of the day was going to the Coliseum.  I liked it because it is old, and the gladiators fought here too.

What I Learned Today:

Today I learned that the Vatican is a city inside of the city of Rome, it is the home of the Catholic church and the Pope.  The Sistine Chapel, the ceiling was painted by Michelangelo.  He painted the ceiling on his back.  I saw lots of paintings.  I also learned that the Coliseum was built in 80 A.D.  It is the largest amphitheater ever built.  They held games here where gladiators fought each other and also lions, tigers, and bears, oh my.  The Roman Forum is ancient Rome.
