A/N: Consistency really isn't my thing. That is all I have to say about
this chapter. I have updated far longer than two weeks in increments, so
again I apologize. As if I will ever finish this fanfic, I will tell you my
plans for a new one. (I do so much better when I am working on more than
one story at a time.) Right now the plan is this: There will NOT be a
sequel to this story. That being said, that does not mean that some of the
characters used in this story won't pop up in future stories. I don't know
yet, but it could happen.

Chapter 27: Coliseum
21 June 2002
Alright, alright today was ultra interesting as far a history and I even learned that one of the chaperones on the trip is going to be my World History teacher in tenth grade, and he is really cool. Like, throughout this whole trip, we have rarely used our buddy groups for anything, in fact the last time we were in our groups was for the Louvre. Anyway, Mr. Diggs had his own thing to do, so whom I thought was just a parent took over our group for the day. It wasn't a parent, though. I mean he is a parent in the sense that he has a college age son and a married daughter, but he is also a teacher at our future high school. He is so cool and his name is Mr. Person.
With that being said, our groups gathered this morning and we were dropped of in the middle of nowhere in Rome and we started walking. My group is fully consisted of Gordo, Miranda, and Me. I mean we have more people, but those are the people I am close with. We were told to stick with our group and not dwell among the others. I was personally glad about this because Miranda and I have hardly spoken at all, and it would be like the three of us once more together as one. So, at first, Miranda and I started talking like everything going on from David to Spain to Kate to Ethan to Brian and everything. Gordo stood in between us and just shook his head at most of the stuff because a lot of it was gossip. He didn't say anything, but I think he wished he had more friends to talk to in our group.
I was explaining to her what I thought of having Kate as a roommate and when in the corner of my eyes, I saw it. I saw the Coliseum. It was exactly how it was in the pictures, but much more beautiful in person to see it. When I saw it, I pointed it out to Miranda and Gordo and Miranda got really excited while Gordo just starred at it.
After what seemed like an hour of waiting outside of the Coliseum, we went inside the thing and it was so cool. Mr. Person read from a book about the inside and the remains, as in what was used for what and about the stage and how it works because there was like an underground with caves and stuff to hold the lion. No wonder the Gladiator was so interesting. Anyway, after what seemed like taking a million pictures as well as a group shot, we finally got to explore the inside. My group went up the stairs and then walked around and took pictures. Miranda took a cute picture of Gordo and me and I hope that turns out well. Gordo also took a picture of me and Miranda and I think it was so awesome. Spending time with Miranda is so much fun and today reminded me of how well all three of us really do get along well and why we are such great friends. Mr. Person even took a picture of all three of us.
After about an hour at the Coliseum, we walked around and looked at the ruins nearby and I think old architecture is really cool. This trip has definitely gotten me in touch with my artistic side and my history. Anyway, we walked around some more and were given a free hour to shop and go eat lunch. We were to stay with at least one person and they must be from our group, so Gordo and Miranda joined me and we all decided just to eat some gelato and then go shopping. This was mainly Miranda and mine's idea, but Gordo didn't argue. I think he is developing toleration for shopping.
What did I buy? I bought some shirts, some more stuff for my family, and a book about the architecture of Ancient Rome and the history or it. I thought it looked like a cool book. The fact that it came in English was a definite plus.
We are now on a bus on our way to Vatican City to see the Sistine Chapel. I have to go now, but I will tell you all about today as soon as I can. ';^)|= Luv ya! Lizzie
