#20: Rome, Italy


The Forum
April 2009

The Forum (and the Colosseum, because one ticket gets you into both) is hands-down the best thing in Rome.  If I had one day, and could only enter one site, it would be the Forum.  This place was thriving over 1000 years before anyone even thought "Hey, maybe if we take these big boats and sail west, we'll find our way to India or China!"


 
Cat Sanctuary
April 2009

Thinking about adopting a stray cat?  Look no further than Rome's very own cat sanctuary.  Amidst ancient ruins, numerous cats roam, while tons of tourists watch from above with the sad realization that they can't take every single one home.



FINA Swimming Countdown
April 2009

I wish the FINA World Swimming Championships countdown read 0 days, 0 hours 0 minutes and 0 seconds.  If you missed it on TV, the meet taught us four valuable lessons: 1. Polyurethane suits are ruining the sport.  2. Michael Phelps is human.  3. Michael Phelps is not human.  4. Milorad Cavic is a massive tool.
