Wow! Two Angels, Very Sexy!

Saturday morning was another one of those early site seeing mornings. As it usually is with me and Nora.
We got breakfast at the hotel, which is excellent because that is one less meal we have to figure out or pay for! :]
First on our agenda for the day is the Colosseum. As we are walking up, this man dressed up like a roman soldier or something says "Wow! Two angles, very sexy" and then winks and both of us just walk off shaking our heads saying "Really? Really??!" Haha. Even though we got there right when it opened we still waited in like for about twenty minutes. And after we were already in line we read something that we should go to Palatine Hill first because the lines are shorter there and then come over to the Colosseum because we'd already have our ticket and be able to just speed on through. But we were already in line, so why cause too much trouble. So into the Colosseum we go. And it's so cool! I can't believe 50,000 people used to crowd into this place. I walked around in amazement for a while, and then got really animated while talking to Nora about Gladiator (ya know the movie) which she's never seen, so added it to the list of movies she must see before we hang out again. :] Sadly she will have far too much time to watch all these movies.
After the Colosseum we went over to Palatine Hill and we got in SO quickly. We really didn't know where to go here so we just started walking up. We figured that was best when trying to get to the top of a Hill. ;] As we're walking I'm eating an apple, and when I was finished I told Nora that I didn't really want to throw it away in a trash can, because well then it will just go to a land fill, but if I throw it on the ground maybe a bird or something will eat it for dinner and then the core will deteriorate and that would be better than a landfill. Right? So I casually toss it over my shoulder into the wilderness and the couple walking behind us gives me a funny look. Oh well. I shrug my shoulders and keep on. Through out the course of our day we saw a bunch of old things and rocks. Hehehe. Casa di Augusto, the Palatine Museum and the Roman Forum. Then we hopped on our favorite subway line (B, feel the sarcasm :] ) to find the Roman Baths. Once we were good and sweaty from walking around there for two hours or so we went back to the hotel and showered, got all fancied up (hoping Papa would be down stairs so we could take a picture with him) and then went to get a romantic dinner for two. ;]
