July 4th in Rome... busy day with lots of pics (finally)

Too much luggage to drag around

Lobby of our little hotel... one person on the elevator at a time

A sweet square in Rome

Cristina and Tom approaching said sweet square

An awesome basillica

Hard to believe that this was the entrance to the basillica... we missed it the first time

An important looking building

The view from just in front of the Coliseum

The Coliseum, or as Tom put it: "Hey. That looks like it's something."

John + Coliseum

Cristina, Joanna, and Tom.  Guess what building that is?

Random eurotourist and the coliseum

Tom, Cristina, and me

A sweet looking place

Uh, an arch?

leaving the Coliseum

Tom found a hot dog

Me at the Emmanuele building or something

That's the building from the front

Panthenon

Sweet monument outside of it

Tom and Joanna sitting in the shade.  This day was ridiculously hot.

Zach, Tom, and Dennis

Trevi fountain

Everyone throwing their coins in.  Oh, it's Tom, Joanna, and Cristina

My turn.  Yes, it was hard.

The fountain

We found the King on the way home.  Delicious, but it killed us.  Except for maybe Tom.

The Spanish Steps

That's what a 13 Euro beer looks like.

Tom and Joanna

This dude was walking around outside our restaurant in a box.  He wasn't homeless.  Really.

Hanging out at the bottom of the steps because we couldn't think of anywhere better to go.   Cristina and Heiko are featured.

Steph and Anna

We made the fountain our home.  Steph, Eric, me, Cristina, Heiko, Joanna, Lindsey, and Tom
