We took a tour of the Colosseum, which was wonderful but a bit long for four-and-a-half-year-old Millie, even though she had a carton or two of breadsticks to keep her occupied. After she took her first bite and showered the ancient floors with crumbs, the legion of pigeons who frequent that ruin followed Millie (now known as Gretel) and remained her devoted companions for the rest of the tour.
