After stopping at the colesseum I thought it might be a good idea to find a place to put my backpack. This city has so many diverse areas none appear too modern though, which is refreshing. Once back near the train station I found an Internet cafe. I would have done this first but everything was closed earlier. I found the hostel I wanted online, Hostel Happy Days. The name seemed kind enough to me. After that i got on the metro and found the place. I set my bags down and decided to take a tour of some of the sights within the city.
After my quick self guided tour I decided to stop back at the hostel for a short break and to get off my feet for a bit. Before I went out again I was offered some pasta with the owners and some other guys there. The pasta was served with pepper, chopped parmesian, and olive oil. It was yummy.

I decided to head out again and see the Circus Maximus. This is a large area where they used to hold chariot races for everyone to watch. I wasn't quite sure what to do next so I walked over towards the Collesium and ran into the Forum along the way. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to tour all of these places and not just walk by them. A few hours later when I get back to the Hostel I decided it was time to eat again. I went in search for an authentice Italian meanl. For dinner I had Bruschetta with Ham, thin sliced, and cheese. For my main course I ordered Spicy Penne Pasta, what I got was a plate that looked sized for two. With all this I had the house red wine. It was all so tasty, but I am probably a little overstuffed. I'll walk it off tomorrow. Well time to get some real sleep. Tomorrow is going to be another amazing day in Europe.
