This past weekend we took a trip to the Roman Forum. I had an idea in my mind from books and pictures of what it would look like, and when I got there I was completly blown away! I did not realize how massive ancient Rome was. All of the buildings that were still standing were built so well that it didn't even look like time touched them. You could still even see the mason stamps on some of the stone walls. It was memorizing to see all of the gardens and fountains that the Romans built, and its amazing to see how advanced they were in technology. One of the coolest things was you could still see a game board stamped into one of the ancient steps! Everything was almost perfect!!
