We visited the Pantheon (built by Agrippa who i guess helped Augustus beat...some dude...i dont know Im not gonna lie i didnt pay attention in my Classic Rome class yesterday)
Trevi Fountain
the Spanish steps
The Colosseum
The Forum
...and random little things like a door that you look through the key hole to see the top of Saint Peter's Basilica...and when you take a picture the Basilica disappears...at least it did in my pictures...
But anyways...Rome is such a weird mixture of old and new...similar to China...expect...its Rome...and its the Roman Empire...or Republic or whatever...it was an Empire...and I couldn't help but have Star Wars playing in my head every time someone mentioned the Empire...and the Pizza...Oh My GOD!...the first night we head past the Pantheon and a few small cafes and down an alley to this little pizza place got THE best pizza Ive ever had...it was cut in a square and then the man cut it in half and folded it so you can eat it on the go...delicious...and the next day we ate at one of those cute little cafes across from the Pantheon by a fountain and had musicians play for us...candle lite dinner...pasta...delicious...and the white wine was to die for...and I don't even like wine! but it was so good...There was also protests all over Rome because in Italy like Ireland they are increasing the expense of going to school...(but it still isn't like it is in America...so i was like really?...i sold my soul and my left leg...deal with it) but yea...My favorite place was definitely the Trevi though...i wish i could've sat there forever...but we really didn't have time...oh! and we (being that we are obsessed with Irish pubs) went to two pubs Trinity College and Scholars...I totally was given a rose in Scholars by a rather attractive Spanish lad...and we chatted a bit in Spanish which is weird cause I didn't think i remembered any Spanish haha this Spanish lad is not to be confused with "Juan Pablo" who slept on top of me (on a bunk bed kids...get your head out of the gutter!)
So...I look pretty gross cause we had been walking FOREVER and HIDING from the "feds" haha...oh god...never thought I would want to leave such a beautiful city...
