Rome, the Eternal City

6:32 AM

Rome was amazingly beautiful and I was having Lizzie McGuire Moments all weekend! I'm going to try to keep this post short because I think the pictures can speak for themselves. For anyone thinking of going to Rome, Tivoli is an absolute must. They are hands down probably the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen. The Colosseum was cool in a historical sense but it was pouring rain when we went so we were a little miserable. The Vatican was interesting and we got to see the ever so famous painting in the Sistine Chapel done by Michelangelo. My favorite part about Rome was probably getting gelato by the Trevi fountain. For anyone who knows me you probably know the love I have for gelato. Combined with my love of the Trevi Fountain it was an awesome time. I also loved all the food on food on food. It was all yummy in my tummy except when we had a $10 cup of hot chocolate that was straight up a melted chocolate bar. Pretty sure we weren't supposed to drink that but use to dip cannolis and stuff in. Oops. I'm going miss that city so much. It was a very bittersweet experience because it was our last trip of our study abroad experience so I felt extra sad to be leaving. Before any of you ask, no I did not find a less douchey version of Paolo although that would have been nice. We just walked around singing "This is What Dreams Are Made Of" without him lol. I could probably stay in Rome for at least a week and still be amazed by its timeless beauty. Rome really is the Eternal City, full of old time charm and forever beautiful.
