Howdy loyal readers! So we are in Rome...yeah, not gonna lie, kinda disappointed. Its big, dirty, the people are not very friendly...I don't know, maybe we're jaded at this point. Overstimulated. Some parts have been very cool but overall we are just kind of 'meh'. I thought it would be magical - more like full of graffiti. We did the Colosseum yesterday which was AWESOME. My favorite part for sure. We took tons of pictures, a video and did the audio tour so anything you want to know, just ask! We also walked around the Roman Forum - also very cool. AND SO OLD! :) I caught Nicki off guard with my joke...'Man, Rome ruined everything!' Heh, heh...get it? Roman ruins. Yeah...
We also went to the Trevi fountain, the Spanish steps, ate some great pizza and then passed out. Today we got up early and headed to Vattican City where we went to the museums, saw the Sistine Chapel and went in St. Peters. After all that fun we found a rather off-the-beaten path place for lunch and I had the best lasagna I've ever had IN MY LIFE. Oh don't worry, there are pictures. We wandered around some more, stuck our feet in a fountain and filled up our water bottles - oh, I haven't mentioned this yet. Ok, so everywhere around Rome there are fountains, spickets...anything that water can come out of and you can drink from them, fill your water bottles, take a bath whatever! And the water is fresh and cold and wonderful. It comes directly from aquaducts in the mountains. Nice!
So tomorrow we are going to try and hit up an English language bookstore and maybe even see a movie (cross your fingers for Batman). There are a few more sights to see and for sure more gelato to eat!
CIAO!
