After neglectingly leaving my Mother and the Ritz at 630am on friday Andria and I made our way to the airport to head to Rome to meet the boys. The flight was a quick two hours and we landed in Rome realizing that we know absolutely no Italian... Somehow we managed to get our bags and find this random bus that cost 4 euros to get to the center of Rome (or so we hoped) to get where we were staying.
We finally made it in the rainy weather to the hostel all by ourselves, very proud of us. We booked a room , settled in and headed out to start site seeing. We saw a bunch of cool different stuff and roamed for a while near the colleseum but decided to go back around 6 because it was rainy and we were tired and wanted to go to bed to rest up for a long day of walking we had ahead on sunday.
Sunday was a beautiful day and we roamed around seeing literally everything. All the statues, plazas, the colluseum, the trevi fountain and a bunch of other cool things. Later on in the day we finally got internet to get in contact with our friend from school Gina to meet up with her. We were wicked excited and spent time catching up and getting a nice italian dinner.
Today we went to the vatican & sistene chapel. Both were amazing. At the vatican I went to Confession which I think is awesome to say that I got to do in my life. We also climbed all the way to the top and saw an amazing view of all of Rome.
Tonight we're staying with Gina and meeting up with another boy we know from home from Suffolk. We've been having an awesome time and eating lots of gelato which is SOOOOOOOOOOO Good. I can't even describe.
Tomorrow we're off to Florence via Train! and I can't wait to see my friends from home there.
