Crypts, Colosseum and the Forums! 

We are getting to the end of the trip and feeling pretty good still, not too much vacation fatigue and also reading ourselves for getting back to the Astor. 

The Capuchin Crypts

The Capuchin Friars were a reform movement, they were the Franciscans but were more strict. 

They came to Rome in the 1500s, built a small church on Via Veneto. and decorated their Crypts with the bones of about 3,700 friars. 

The Colosseum!!

We finally made it to the Colosseum. Well we came several times, but we were finally hare to talke the tour and see the underground where the gladiators would be shuttled from their practice arena to the big show. Enjoy... We did...

The elevator used to bring the animals in to eat the criminals in a public display. (Hmmm...)

Luckily we made it out and will live another day. 

The Roman Forums!!

The House of Livia frescos from 60 BC.
