Waking up to 'just another day' this Monday meant: I was sweating in bed around 7AM when the sunrise was shining in my room...but then the blue skies started to change to blue-gray (guess I should write grey since I'm in Europe..) It started drizzling- just our luck for our rescheduled on-sight class for Roman Empire and Republic Era. We bought a janky umbrella for €3 from a man. It was wet, rainy, cold, and we were supposed to take notes...didn't seem fair.
-Met at a temple which was dedicated to Hercules. (I pass this temple a few times a week...finally has significance)
-Walked and stopped in the middle of Circo Massimo (Circus Maximus) which is in between the Palatine and Aventine Hill. It is a little under 1/2 a mile where they held chariot races, and circuses. Because it is Rome's largest venue, it is used as not only a public park but a venue for big events.
