Roma

I will try to keep the pictures to a minimum here but I couldn't stop taking them when I was there!! I loved every single thing about Rome! The weather was beautiful, the people were nice and the city was gorgeous!!! We left London at about 6:00 am on Monday and arrived at our hotel by 11:30 on Monday. Our hotel was beautiful and we even have a little balcony overlooking the courtyard! We started off with a quick stop at a pizza place near our hotel.
So amazing.

We then decided to get a feel for Rome and just walk around. I felt like I was walking in a painting. Everything was so beautiful!! The colors, the architecture, everything was so unreal! We stopped in a park where I saw my favorite sign:

I'm assuming this sign translates to "No dancing, listening to music and high five-ing your friends in this park." Obviously, not a fan of this park for all of the above reasons.

As we were walking down the street we stumble upon the Colosseum. It is absolutely unreal in person!
We went on a tour the next day to see the inside and it's just an unbelievable structure

Since I'm already loosing track of what we did each day, I think I'll just give a run down of what we did overall:

Toured the Roman Forum and saw lots and lots of ruins

Ate more pizza

Saw the Pantheon

Had lots of wine at various Piazza's 





Ate amazing pasta, drank cappuccinos and had lots of gellato :)




Hung out with the pope (that's an attempt at a picture of him above)

Saw the Trevi Fountain, which was my favorite site in Rome!!


And did LOTS of Drunk Uncle Impressions

Rome was amazing and I can't wait to go back to explore the rest of Italy!!!
