rome! (part V)

i was absolutely in love with the italians. the way they talked, the enthusiasm they all had, the way they take 3 and a half hour lunch breaks that include a nap. everything about them i loved.
i can say you can actually see rome in one day...we just had the luxury of enjoying it in 4.

me and brad felt completely prepared for this city because we studied by watching divinci code and angels and demons. we felt ready. but for reals, we got really into seeing everything from those movies. it was awesome!

what rome let us enjoy was:

• colosseum
• forum
  
• vatican museum (sistine chapel) and vatican square
  
• st. peters basilica
• the 4 rivers fountain
• trevi fountain (the one from when in rome, and we fell in love with each other the second i through in that coin)
• spanish stairs

it's funny because as i'm typing this all out, i really still can't believe we were there in person to see these things. it was amazing. i would say the thing that most blew me away was st. peter's basilica. it was UNREAL! the altar in the middle alone was 7 stories high. when we walked in i really just sat there staring for about 10 minutes. i couldn't take it in.

also-i'm soo proud to say that settebello's is SPOT ON to how they make there pizza.
it's truly italian pizza. which makes me love it even more.

and once again, there night life was not a let down. just like paris, it comes alive!
