Ciao Bellas... Yes I know I've been slacking but I had finals and what not which are done now. I'm done with undergrad wooohooo!! Anywho Rome was lovely, however I liked Milan better just because it was smaller. However, Rome has all of the main historic attractions. Literally everywhere you turn there is some monument or sculpture or something ancient-looking. I really like that about Rome!
Treviiii Babyyy
Make a wish!!
Most popular gelato place! It's crazy in there you have to get a ticket at the entrance.
The Pantheon that we searched for so we could meet our friend Jenny, and of course couldn't find it until hours later. Go figure. And we didn't get to see Jenny at all :(
Piazza Navona
There's tons of artists selling their awesome paintings here, and doing portraits of people!
Hmm.......
This person rides in style... love the Beamer.
Tiber River
Oh yea this selfie was right after this dude from Nepal that had a little booth, table thing selling things told us that he could do a "black accent- Wassup homie" and that "black people don't have good grammatics" Me- "OH. Really -____- " *gives him evil look* Him- "Oh no no no well you speak perfectly..." Me- "Yea, of course." *flips hair and walks away* Ok I did not flip my hair (it was in a bun as usual) I just thought that added dramatic effect. However, Marissa and I weren't too happy with that comment. SMH
Random gelato place... isn't that just the cutest thing! Love it
The huge building at the end of Via de Corso (where everything is pretty much) that the Romans hate, because it looks so modern
The elevator out our hostel. I felt like I was in a movie.
The Spanish Steps... I have pictures with me on them... somewhere...
I did get a chance to visit Vatican City. I couldn't miss out on that! The weather was kinda sucky, but luckily everything is inside pretty much. And the lines really aren't that bad.
Starting with Saint Peter's Basilica... I was in awe. It's HUGE
The inside...
St. Peter
The Crypt in the basement, where Popes are supposedly buried
The Vatican Museum... The Sistine Chapel is a part of this, which is really like the main attraction but of course it's at the end of the museum and literally took FOREVER to get to it.
View from one of the rooms
Not exactly sure what was... bronze something
Michelangelo's work... the main attraction! Which I thought was kinda overrated, but still happy I got to see it.
They don't allow pictures but I mean was I really gonna leave there without pics?!
As you can see it was hard to sneak some lol not as much of thug as I thought I was. But you get the idea of what it looks like, it's actually a lot smaller than I thought.
The exit
The Colosseum. Thankfully the weather cleared up when we got here... Perfecto for my pics. I love them. The Colosseum isn't like anything I've ever seen... again reminding me that the US is pretty basic with no huge historic monuments :-/
Just look at the sky... reallyyy!!
