Pictures from Rome

Sorry this is so late. We didn't really have access to a computer for a long time over the past week. These pictures are from September 21 I think. We saw all of Rome in one day it was really exciting. We saw the Vatican, The Colosseum, The Roman Forum, and loads and loads of Roman ruins, their all over the place, in the subway in the train station and random aquedacts throughout the city.

Us in front of St. Peters Basilica.
The alter in the Cathedral.
The outside is decorated with the saints, I think their is one for every day of the year.
The gulf of Corinth from the train window.
Trajans Column, he had the outside decorated with his feats from the Dacian Wars
The Arch of Constantine.
Amidst the ruins of the Colosseum their is a cross erected. Every year the pope comes to this spot to pray for the souls of the martyrs who died there.
The ruins of the colosseum. Me and Daniel just sat around for along time thinking and pondering. We had to pay twenty-four euros so we decided to make it worth out while. Im not sure about Daniel but I know most of my thoughts were dwelling on the extant to which man will take his love for entertainment, entertainment or escape from life. To think that the greatest and most well known relic from the one of the most powerful empires ever to dominate the world, is an enormous building dedicated to the sensual pleasure of the Roman populace. Such a dark contrast St. Peters Basilica just a little bit away, which stands for truth, and upholds the name of God. I will hopefully post more of my thoughts later. Its really annoying because the keyboards are getting really funky. In Greece and Italy they were very similar to American ones but in France and Germany they are weird. That is my excuse for short posts.
