Palatine Hill and Forum Romanum

We successfully navigated the Metro during rush hour.
Yay, us!

Have I mentioned how beautiful and green everything was?

Who wouldn't love getting flowers from
this cutie?

the sunshine

One marvelous thing about the Palatine hill and Roman Forum is that there are lots of trails to follow (or No to run on), beautiful gardens and cool ruins.  Even the huts where (maybe) Remus and Romulus were raised.  Did you know our word palace comes from the schmancy homes on Palatine Hill?
