We had a wonderful day in Rome yesterday! It started off with a visit to the Vatican. There was some sort of festival going on and there were balloons everywhere. People were all dressed up and they were singing kid songs. It was pretty interesting. We waited in a line to get into St. Peter's for mass at 11:30. First, one guard told us there was no mass. We went in anyways to see the church and found out there was a mass! It was really interesting being it was in Italian!
We got done with mass at about 12:15 and walked around outside. We had to meet Simone to let him borrow our keys to let another couple into the apartements other room and him and his girlfriend drove us to a good pizza place for lunch. We even got 15% off! Such good pizza!!! Yum! We had bruschetta bread for an appetizer as well.
After lunch, we took the metro over to the Spanish Steps and walked to the Trevi fountain from there. Everything is beyond beautiful! We stopped for canolis before that so we got to eat them on our walk! We made our wishes at the Trevi fountain and also got gelati! I tried the peach. It was so refreshing because it was actually a pretty hot out!
We decided to walk over to the colosseum. It was a wonderful walk. We saw so many cool ancient ruins. We finally made it to the colosseum and paid 12 euro to get inside. It was a really nice experience! We spent a while in there and then headed across the river to find a bar. My feet hurt so badly! We stopped at a field and watched some random gladiator fighting. It was hysterical! Everyone was there watching. Then, we found a cute little outdoor bar for a drink. I tried the apple martini, but it was a bit too strong for me. Oh well!
Next was dinner! We stumbled upon a super cheap restaurant! Pasta was about 5 euro! I had gnocci with pesto sauce and we split another bruschetta bread for an appetizer. We had some nice wine and then headed back to the apartment to hang out. We conquered Rome in one day!
Off to Florence in a few hours!
Talk to you all soon :)
