Ahhhh my life just keeps getting better and better!! I thought Lisbon and Paris were amazing.... Oh no. Italy is BY FAR my favorite place so far!! I am a LOVER of Italian food... Pasta is my absolute favorite. The real Italian food was incredible!! The city was beautiful, I fell in love with it the second we got there!! All of the friends I have made here have to work on the weekends, so I convinced my host Mom to come with me to Rome!! She siad that I am not allowed to leave Europe without seeing the city, and since she hadn't been there for 15 years she decided to join me!! We had a blast!! It was fun getting to know her better, and realizing how much we have in common. She stooped down to my level and made it so much fun for me. Since she had been there before, I had a walking tour guide 24-7. I saw so much of Rome that I thought my head was going to explode from all the history!! It was humid and hot, but SO worth it!! I go to Venice in two weeks and I cannot wait to be back in Italy!! We will see which city I like more!
Some old ruins in the middle of the city!
The Colosseum!! Absolutely incredible!!
Oh I forgot to mention... my host Moms friend, Paloma, and her fifteen year old daughter, Angela, decided to come with us!! They only speak Spanish... so that is all we spoke to eachother all weekend. I was actually pretty impressed with myself. I didn't do half bad. My host Mom had to help me out occasionally though!
Inside the Colosseum!! I LOVED it!!! 
Some more old ruins. 
I would have loved to see the city back in the old days.
We saw a 3-D movie while we were there. The seats moved to make it seem real. It was really interesting!
The Pantheon
Everyone drove vespas, and they were always dressed so nice. It wasn't uncommon to see a man with a full suit and tie... riding on a vespa!! 
This picture looks fake... oh no, it's not. That's how incredible the city was!
The Vatican City! 
Our hotel is the Yellow one at the end of the street. Loved it!
The four of us!
