Day Two

Day two was the first day of tourism, and it was great. The first stop was the Circus Maximus. I was amazed at how large it is, or was, because only the depression of the structure was all that was left. Yet, the ambiance of the park was still amazing, although there was nothing there to indicate the enormity of the structure.

We then went to the Baths of Caracalla. I have seen pictures of this place, but I never understood the enormity of it. Even though in ruins, this place still had an imposing stature. I could not and cannot fathom such large structure devoted to personal hygiene. Of all the archaeological sights, this is my favorite.

After a nice lunch and getting lost, I made my way to the Pantheon; the very building that inspired my love of classical architecture. The simple yet ingenious design of the dome revolutionized architecture. Something so old yet so modern. Amazing.
