This was one of my first trips that I took to the Roman Forum during my abroad trip in Rome. It was a very hot day but finding out that the Forum was only about a 20 minute walk from my apartment made me incredibly happy. Looking back on my travels I realize now how integrated the Forum became in my everyday life in Rome. I always passed it on the bus coming back from the aiport from my out of country travels, it was a consistent meeting spot for my friends and I before we started our weekend adventures, and just like that it became one of my most fond memories of Rome.
