This morning was incredibly fun. We had a couple of City
Walks cards for the fora romano, so we could walk through and tell what we
were looking at. The cards were small and handy, with descriptive text on
one side and a map on the other. |
There are no bathrooms in the fora romano.
 |
Since we gave away our City Walk cards, I have no idea
what these pictures show. |
As we left the forum, two ladies stopped us and asked if
the path we were on led to the forum, and if it was worth it (it was uphill
and it was hot). We said that it was well worth the uphill walk, and we gave
them the City Walk cards.

This photo should be at the top of the page, because it
shows us just arriving at the forum. There is Lisa in her cool green
tank top. She led us through Rome like a champ. We scurried
quickly through the forum so the Benders could go to the Coliseum for a
guided tour, and then we went back through the forum slowly. |

Pleasant shady area |

This green door seems to float in the air. There
are no stairs leading to it. It shows where ground level once
was, when that door was in use. |
Here is the stone where they burned Cesar's body. People
still leave flowers there today.
