Hi Mom,
I'm at Rome with my uncle's having a great time. The first thing I did when I woke up from our apartment was we went to the baths. The baths are awesome, there is a cool bath and a hot bath. The cool bath has stone steps that lead into a pool of water, and all the people with us were talking about the government. The hot bath was interesting, it had a furnace under a stone pool which would heat up the water and warm us up. After the baths my uncles showed me the aqueduct. The aqueduct has all these arches above the river and on the top level there was a small half pipe that got water from the mountains. The water flowed down the pipe to a building that split to three pipes. One pipe lead to the rich people another went to the baths and another went to the fountains. After we walked across the aqueduct we went to the amphitheater. The amphitheater was amazing, we saw a gladiator fight and kill a bear. But what happened before that was awesome, the two fighters came up through a trap door which looked like magic. Everyone was cheering, we were in the front row but then he gave them the thumbs up and everyone got mad because that meant he was not going to die. But after the battle we went on these cool roads to the Hippodrome. The roads had cool storm sewers and a nice paved cobblestoned road. The roads also had curbs so you would stay on track. But the roads had a amazing speed bump which would slow you down because you had to fit in-between these two rocks. When we got the Hippodrome we bet on the blue Chariot. The Hippodrome was huge, people were cheering as loud as the amphitheater. It was the best, the chariots went round and round going really fast. At last the blue chariot won! My uncles were going crazy. I thought it was the best time I have ever had. Could I come back here next time mom. Anyways see you next week.

P.S. I'm glad the gladiator didn't die
