Rome part 1 (June 23rd - 27th)

The last month of my life has been so hectic that I have barely had a minute for reflection. I wanted to take this opportunity to look back on the last weeks of my time in Italy and how I've been since returning to America.

After Cervia with AFS, Ludo and I went to Rome with her aunt. It's a 3 and 1/2 hour drive from Porto San Giorgio. We left on a Sunday night and spent Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday exploring the city. During the day, it was only the 2 of us because her aunt works as a journalist. At night, we had dinner together. We took the bus and metro everyday to the center of Rome where we saw all the touristy things.

Monday
Piazza del Popolo, Pinician Hill, Piazza del Spagna, twin churches, Via del Corso (Rome's equiv of NYC 5th Ave), Via Coudotti, Altare della Patria, Fontana di Trevi (where we ate the bessssssssst pizza), Fori Imperiali, Colosseo, Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, Palazzo Montecitorio, Palazzo del Quirinale, Palazzo Venezia, Piazza Venezia

Dinner: spaghetti

Tuesday
Vaticano, Sistine Chapel, Cupola (we bought matching floor length skirts to get in), Piazza Navona (it's a fountain with 4 statues representing different rivers done by Bernini), Campo di Fuori, Arapacis Mausoleo, Via Cola Direnzo (we shopped a lot there), and we returned to Piazza del Popolo

Dinner: sushi

Wednesday
was just for shopping...

Dinner: an American themed restaurant which is basically just Tex Mex food
