Off to a late start for the kids had to catch up on their rest.  Well after a hearty  breakfast (bacon and eggs for Lance) and granola for the rest of us.  Out the door and off to the Colosseum we went.  David hired a guide and after queing up in we went.  Wow this place is amazing.  What a powerful experience to imagine myself as a enslaved gladiator fighting for my life and then waiting to see if the audience will let me live or die.  A very different world they lived in.  Makes a person glad to be borne into he 20th century.  Note to myself….remember to appreciate what I have been given…..it is so much more than others have ever dreamed of having.
