While 3 days (really 2 full days, and one partial day) is a very short amount of time to explore Rome, we were able to see so much.
A trip to Rome wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Mouth of Truth. I’m happy to tell you I did leave Italy with my hand. (Legend has it that your hand will get bitten off if you tell a lie with your hand in its mouth.)
Vittorio Emanuele is so impressive you can see it from far, far away. Also, this random man wanted to get in on my photo op here.
Who can go to Rome without visiting the Colosseum? We didn’t take a tour of the inside (I did on my first visit, but let the newbies on this trip decide that it wasn’t a priority to go inside). If you want to go inside the Colosseum (or the Forum) buy tickets in advance, and consider a tour. We thought we could get into the forum pretty easily but the line was a million miles long.
We also visited the Pantheon, and went inside (something I didn’t do on my first Italy visit). It was really neat inside and I also used the Rick Steve’s Free Audio Tours podcast here too.
We end the Rome portion of the trip here, but I’m sure I’ll share a few random snapshots later, since there are some really great pictures taken by my friends during the trip.
Next stop, Florence.

jealous!
I am surprised the stone did not eat your arm. Love the pics keep it coming you have almost made up for all the pictures you have not posted.
Glad you approve. There are plenty more pictures, I promise I’ll get around to them soon. Rome is only 3 days out of our 12 day trip so you’ve got plenty to look forward to!
