Longest walk EVER!

We walked a lot on Saturday. We walked SO much that our feet are all cramped up. Roughly, the hike was about 10 miles throughout the whole day. Yes. We’re gonna be extremely buff when we return to America. For part of our trip, we went through the Roman Forum, around the Teatro di Marcello, and into the old Jewish ghetto.

The Forum was fantastic. There were ruins everywhere. People even sat down on them to rest and eat some lunch. Most of the buildings were destroyed, of course; they have taken a beating the last two thousand years.


The Teatro di Marcello, on the other hand, was extremely kept up and in very good condition. It resembles a smaller version of the coliseum. After that, we walked to the Jewish ghetto and saw one of the seven synagogues in Rome.


The Jewish ghetto is tiny. It’s about a block long but 5,000 lived there! However, at the end of the street was the synagogue. It was quite grand in size. The structure was very pretty and well built. From there, we continued on, but we will leave that for another post.
