3.00pm- bedtime in Rome

PART 7
Finally, it was the day that we were going to see the Colosseum, we started walking down all of the streets, until we came to a giant hill and looking over the hill we saw a giant valley like thing that looked like it was full of bricks and old arches. We then walked down the hill and got tickets to go inside the ruins. Now looking closely it didn't look like just a giant pile of bricks it looked like old houses and caves beneath the soil. This turned out to be one of my favorite sights in Rome. Next what we had been waiting for the Colosseum! We got to go ahead of the line since we had already bought our tickets which was great because the line for tickets went on forever. Once we got in the sight was amazing. It was huge, there were old seats made of stone and in the middle the floor was all taken off and underneath were sells where they kept the animals and gladiators. My dad said they use to have a cover to put ontop. We went upstairs and it was an even better view of the ground and there were little balconies where we could look over the street and over the colliseum. It was finally time to go home. We decided to take the metro which didn't take long then when we got back to the apartment, my brother, sister, and I played hide and go seek for the rest of the night until it was time to go to bed.
