The group after tennis.
After tennis we went to the Roman Forum. This was where Rome was ruled from.... back in the day. We walked on the same marble roads that Ceaser would have walked on over 2000 years ago. It was really interesting to learn how everything in Roman history fit together!
In front of more ruins. Off to our right is the spot where Ceaser's body was burned after he was assassinated by some senator's. It was so hot here, that while we were looking around, we would go from one spot of shade to the next trying to stay cool.
