Carravagio

Today we met at 9:30 and went to a couple of churches and saw Carrivaggio paintings of St. Matthew. We went to another church and saw the Ecstasy of St. Teresa. They were both beautiful, however, my favorite thing was the catacombs of St. Sebastian. It was amazing being in there, they are so old with so much history behind them. They contained 500,000 buried Christians. during the fall of the Roman empire the bodies were moved and people dug threw everything looking for "buried treasure". after they hadn't found anything the catacombs were forgotten about for hundreds of years. It was just crazy being underground near these catacombs that had been created thousands of years ago.
We ended the day and the Coliseum, which was also quite amazing. We ended the day with a nice long walk back to the hotel.
