Rome, Italy


Ah! My favorite country-- ITALY!

When we arrived at Italy we fell in love instantly! We took a bus from the FCO Airport to Roma. MAN oh man was the bus ride a heart attack waiting to happen! The driver was nuts! My friend Lola and I joked that he was heart broken and taking it out on us (he was listening to sad love songs and driving wrecklessly) we nick named him RUTHLESS.

When we got to the Termini Station, we walked to our Hotel because we ALWAYS do. Yes, we were super frugal and proud :).. Ofcourse the walk was FOREVER but isnt it always?...for us- atleast.

So, we get to our hotel and we hated it. Hated it so much that we spend the entire first day looking for a new hotel... and then we found one :) Hotel Amafi or something.

Anyways, we went to The Spanish Steps, Threw a coin into the Fontana Di Trevi (my dream!), Saw the Colesseum and ate Italian Cuisine. We also visited Piaza Vinetzia (or however you spell it) everyday because we had to walk past it to get to our hotel. I was on cloud 9!

Not to mention- we saw the Pantheon :)

Rome is absolutley STUNNING! The architecture, the ruins, the history just everything about it tells its own story. We were convinced that giants existed as well as dragons. Why? well, the door handles are sky high, the buildings are HUGE, the doors are ENORMOUS and we saw dungeons where dragons could have lived.................err... or maybe we have big imaginations.

Italians are so nice and not to mention- beautiful. I didnt understand, every person we walked past was so attractive. Is there something in the water they drink?
