A Vacation Where History Was Made

My lifetime dream hasn't been realized yet; I like to travel to Europe where History was made. I will start with the glorious city of Rome with its ancient monuments which still fascinate! I like to see one of the gems of ancient architecture: the Colosseum, hear the roars of the gladiators and the screams of the crowds applauding the winner; I will stroll down Via Veneto find an uncrowded café,' and sip a cappuccino in the tepid Roman sun! My next step is to go to Paris and admire its wonders by the Senna; I will sit and dream of long ago as Victor Hugo did at Notre-Dame, the gothic Cathedral of antiquity, then on to Versailles where Napoleon Bonaparte resided. London can't be missed on my travel list, this magnificent city which was built two millennia ago, has its own English charm: the imposing Tower Bridge overlooking the Thames River; ah, Liverpool is a must: once home of the enigmatic Beatles! Madrid is every artist's dream, a beautiful city built on water; very impressive is the Almudena Cathedral with priceless art works, it's the dynamic city of bullfighters, watch the matadors do magic; at night, it's all music and splendor inside the wide Plaza Mayor!
