Rome is amazing city with the unique ability to take you back in time to the days of ancient Rome. Seeing the Colosseum, Forum Pantheon and other Ancient structures was surreal and breathtaking. I was very surprised at how relatively new the Ancient structures looked and how well preserved or restored many of the places were. It was such a great experience to see and be in places I had studied in school and read about in the Bible - it really made history come alive.
I really liked seeing how modern Rome exist side by side with ancient Rome and there is an great appreciation, respect and protection of the historical sites. One of the weirdest thing I have seen in my life I saw in Rome. Near the Spanish Steps me and Isaac went to visit a seemingly normal church, but with a crypt decorated from the bones of hundreds of monks. The bones are used for wall and ceiling decoration as well as archways for the more distinguished monks skeletons. If you are in Rome and have the time I recommend a visit as it is a sight you will not soon forget.
