.ROMA.

Day 6 November 13, 2011 Rome
Happy year and a half to Jamey and I! It was fun to spend it in Rome. Wow what an amazing city, I have heard about it my whole life. It was fun to finally see it!





Inside the Colosseum, you can see the replica of the wood stage, and underneath is where the slaves, gladiators and tigers would be!



They restored some of the original seating (all of the white marble)

Being down on ground level was kind of creepy

More of the original pillars

The Arch of Constantine



Definitely worth the 20 euro each to go in the Colosseum, such an old structure and a lot of good / evil things went on in there.

Jamey trying to be hip like the Frenchman next to him



Part of the Roman Forum, we couldn't get in because it was to late in the day, BOO! Check out the chariot and horses on top of that building though..

The beautiful Trevi Fountain.





We grabbed some Gelato and hung out around the fountain for a little over an hour, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and of course people watching!

Siena

Day 5 November 12, 2011 Siena
We were so excited to vespa through the vineyards.. We saw an ad for it back in September and have been dreaming of it ever since. So we woke up and found ourselves a scooter.



Siena's Duomo from a far



We found this great castle and they rent out little apartments. We talked with the owner and she said that she also owns a villa up the road and she rents single rooms and that we should check it out.









Here is the villa and you bet that we checked ourselves in for the night.



These trees are so great!

Playing in the vineyard.

Love the fall colors



Showing off his vespa tricks

As we cruised through the hillsides, around every corner would be a little village or villa and their own little vineyard, DREAMY!

We decided to change up our pose for the pic...









Thirsty little fella? Pigeons were crawling on everything











Torture Museum...yummy



The Duomo



Loved the white marble with the green stripes
