walls of the colliseum 

it was amazing how we could just touch everything


over looking the sea


this place was so expansive


there were no explanations, but I think this is from 5 AD



This coin might be suspect - but it could be a real coin - I got in trouble for taking a photo of it

this is a tomb, of course missing one piece

some cub scouts that really liked to sing
