We had a half day to spend exploring Florence before our train ride back to Rome. Here is a picture of their main bridge, The Ponte Vecchio. I think Florence and Tuscany would be wonderful to spend more time in, we just had the crash course.
We made it to Rome (on the correct train) and so far it's been wonderful. We spent our first day in ancient Rome seeing the Roman Forum, Colosseum, and Palatine Hill. The Colosseum was no let down, it is amazing that they were able to build such a large and well preserved building in 72 AD.
There was a great view of the city from the top of Palatine Hill.
We did the ipod video/audio tour inside the Colosseum, it was so informative. What an amazing and gruesome history there is here.
