Rome Day 1

We got to Rome, Italy in the morning, after flying all night, and we were so excited. This was our very first time to Europe and our first trip without our kids in 4 1/2 years. We weren't sure how long it would take to get to the hotel. After we got to the airport we caught the train into Rome and then walked to our hotel.

Hotel Milton Roma was near the Roman Colosseum. We knew the general area and were pleased when it took us less than 40 minutes to walk there. We got all situated and took a much needed nap. After a two hour napped we were ready to go. Only one little hang up, we forgot all of our travel books! Oops. We knew the Colosseum was down the road so we headed out here is what we first saw along our walk. I have included a little guide they had that explains what it used to be.
