Pronounced "yassas," this is both the most common Greek greeting and the most important word I learned. It can mean hello, goodbye, bless you, and more. So Γεια σας, and welcome to the blog I never thought I'd have, a summary of my months spent on the island of Rhodes!
Colosseum
We made it to the Colosseum! And we only had to take a bus to the end of the line and wait for it to turn around (we had some difficulties...). The Colosseum was mostly what was expected: a giant stadium in remarkably good condition near the Roman Forum and the historical center of the city. Unfortunately, due to the painfully expensive Vatican tour and the general lack of interest in ancient Roman history, nobody else wanted to go inside. As I didn't want to make everyone wait (and was reluctant to spend an additional €12), I didn't to go in, which was a pretty big disappointment. We hung out for a bit, walked around, and headed on. The next desired stop was the Trevi Fountain, but I mentioned that I wanted to go to the Pantheon. Since I couldn't go by myself, of course, (don't forget how unsafe Rome is!), we all headed over to see it.
