He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.

The Forum, Rome
The Forum was another cool thing about Rome and the best part, it was FREE. However, it was incredibly crowded (like everything else in Rome). I wish I would have gotten a guide to explain everything because there was just so much stuff. I think the most amazing thing about it is that so much stuff has survived after all this time.
There are a lot of temples and building that are completely intact. The whole area covers about 5 acres. I didn't walk around all of because it was too crowded. However, the parts I did inspect were great.
