The Colosseum and Circus Maximus

Two weekends ago we took a trip to the Colosseum. I always had a picture in my mind of what it would be like, and the actual structure was completely different to what I had imagined. It was like an actual stadium! As I was walking up the stairs to the top level I felt as if I was going to a bears game. Even the inside seemed to be like a giant sports stadium. I now know what modern sports arenas modeled their buildings after. It was fun learning about everything that took part there, and how there were actual turnstiles to count how many people came to watch the Games! I thought that was so cool. This Sunday I went running at Circus Maximus something that I have always wanted to do. It was uncanny to believe that so many chariot races took place there, and I got the ability to go run in the same place.
