While I absolutely love all the history I am learning in Rome not all of you do... HERE , and HERE (VIRTUAL TOUR) is some information about where I went today if history is your thing and you love ancient ruins. Otherwise, here are some sweet pics:

I found what looked like an abandoned, unexcavated portion of the ruins and decided to explore. I am so
happy I took the road less traveled (literally) because my solo
explorations definitely made all the difference. I told my friends
Joe and Ali about my findings, and they joined me for another hour or
so.
