Rome

From the top: In front of the Sistine Chapel, Vatican City, the Colosseum, sitting at the top of the Spanish Steps, in front of the Trevi Fountain.

Rome was the last stop on our week tour of Italy. We got in sort of late, so Lisa and I just decided to go to a piazza and take a couple of pictures in front of a fountain. The next day, we got up early, and went to Vatican City. I hardly had to wait in line to get in the Vatican Museum. I saw the Hall of Maps, the Sistine Chapel, and many other rooms with amazing art. After walking around the Vatican for a while, we went to see the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps. They were pretty packed with tourists, but it still was great to see them. We learned from our tour guide that the city of Rome gets a large amount of income from the coins collected from the Trevi.

The next day, we toured ancient Rome. We saw the Roman Forum, and the Colosseum. Again, I was just blown away how the hustle bustle of the city surrounds ancient architecture. It was phenomenal.

Gelato was a daily occurrance during our stay in Italy. The weather was great, and I would love to go back very soon!
