So we've arrived in Rome!! The Eternal City! Took a 6 hour train ride to get here from Venice. But ever since the summer, long train rides don't bother me! On the train, Kristin and Lisa randomly ran into some boys they met in Grenada at New Years so that was pretty exciting for them. I want to randomly run into someone I know in Europe!!
Anyways, we pulled into Rome around 4 pm and checked into our hostel. We had to split up into three and three so I am bunking with Sally and Kim. We met up with Monica and Chris who had already been here for a day and seen the Coliseum.
The group of 7 (haha) then went to dinner and found a cheap ristorante where I had a 5 Euro Lasagna. We then decided to go see some famous sites because we are trying to cram in all of Rome in one day tomorrow. So with my map in hand, I led the group around Rome. And I was a good navigator (so ha! dad). We went to the Trevi Fountain and threw a coin in to make a wish. Its absolutely beautiful. Oh and we also got Gelato again (this time: cherry and dark chocolate...mmm... plus a hilarious gelato man who served us our dessert). Next we walked to the Pantheon which was... can you guess? ...UNDER CONSTRUCTION. LIKE ALL OF EUROPE. We also saw a piazza which was very pretty. But it was dark and we were tired so we ended up just walking back to the hostel and here I am!!
As usual, Its now time for me to say goodnight. Tomorrow we're trying to go to Vatican City and then the coliseum on a walking tour. Early wake up call at 7am.... Then we're also having a night out and partying it up in rome. So you might get a drunken post from me. Ciao!
