The Blue Colosseum

Last night after getting off the train from Tivoli, we took the metro the Circus Maximus stop. When I come up from the Roman underground, I looked up at the sky and I noticed that there was a neon blue glow in the direction of the Colosseum. Courtney and I, although we were exhausted from our trip, decided to walk to the colosseum and check it out. The first thing that we noticed were the plentiful booms of fireworks in the distance. There were also numerous brides getting pictures taken around the ancient stadium. When we got close enough, we realized that the exterior of the colosseum was lit up like normal. From the interior however, there were huge blue lights shining on the inside of the colosseum. It made the old structure seem very creepy. We had no idea why they did this, and everyone we asked either didn't know of couldn't speak English. Anyways, it was cool to see the colosseum in this glow. Yet again, my pictures were full of orbs. Very cool!
