Roma!!

Rome was everything we thought it would be, around every corner is a beautful monument, a nice restaurant, and tons of people. It was hot, a littl muggy, and exhausting...

we are tore up. Lack of sleep and too much walking!


Highlights from Rome:

Visited the ruins, the old palace of where Rome was founded. We took scary pictures of the ruins to reinact the movie...just for you Anna.

Saw purple and white everywhere, at times we felt like we were pledging because we were so tore up.

Drank an incredible amount of water...almost got water poisoning =)

Most of the city is paved in cobblestone, its uneven and we were tripping!

People drive insane, our cab driver was straddling the lines and going 140KM/hr. Wanted to close my eyes!

Went on TWO pub crawls back to back. They include all you can drink for an hour, welcome shots at 2-3 bars/clubs and a free t-shirt. Stayed up till 5am in the morning both nights. Jenny can drink without getting a meltdown, she's hardcore.

We made code names for the types of people we meet:
Peter = Perveted Peter (creepy guys that like to stare)
Andy = Annoying Andy (obnoxious and rude)
Shawn = Shady Shawn (this is the type of guy that would mug you...feel unsafe)
Frank = Freaky Frank (not completely creepy, but not normal either)
Oscar = Old Oscar (we use this one a lot, many old guys try to holler)
Bob = B.O. Bob (he is everywhere as well, someone who stinks and reeks of B.O.)
Joe = Average Joe (normal guy, cool, friendly, not creepy)
Seth = Sexy Seth (these are the ones to try to get with...)
Larry = Lame Larry (self explanatory)
Will = Weak Sauce Will (he's a pussy and best friends with Larry)

Australians are all very cool and friendly, we decided we want to visit!

There are several "rose peddlars" who try to make you buy roses from them. They push it in your face and don't go away.

Got lost after partying and realized that we were somewhere not on the map. Took an hour and 30 minutes to get home. Almost had a meltdown.

Getting two Irish boys to kiss on the lips! =)

Feeling hella old and pretending we are only 21.

Eating lots of gelato. pronounce the "g" as in the word "get" We walk so much but eat equal amounts...no weight loss.

Saw the sistine chapel, vatican city, colosseum, the ruins, trevi fountain, spanish steps, pantheon, st. peter's basillica, the forum, and Jenny's Circo Massimo =)

Ate pizza, risotto, pasta, calzone, tiramisu, chocolate mousse, and lasagna.

Drank a fancy stracciatella cafe = expresso with dark chocolate and whipped cream!


Goodbye Roma and hello Firenze!!!
