Prego.

Today I was blessed by the Pope in St. Peter's Square!!! Sooooo cool!

We've done and seen everthing really... we toured the Colosseum, the Palantine Hill, and the Forum. We've seen the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Stairs, and the Pantheon. Yesterday Erik, his roommate and I toured the Vatican Museum, and saw the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's--- it was AMAZING!!!

We've done a lot of walking around the city. Last night we found ourselves on top of a huge building that has some government stuff in it, but we looked over the Colessuem\Roman Ruins and St.Peter's at night. It was gorgeous.

It was also 'Night at the Museum' night last night. So all the Museums were free from 8pm-2am in Rome. We hit that up as well then.

It's been raining like the whole time though, so we have some really sad feet right now...

And the starvation diet hasn't really been working. We've been living on pizza, pasta and gelato, which is delicious! We're in Italy though, so...

So, I've basically found another city I absolutely love. (Well maybe 2 since the Vatican is techically another city\country?)

FINAL NOTE: I feel like I should be heading back to Valencia anytime now... but I'm not. And that makes me soo sad. I really really really miss Spain. I mean I am loving Italy, but I really miss Spain, and speaking Spanish. There's a girl in our room in the hostel who's from San Sabastian tho, and I chatted in espanol for awhile tonight with her. It was really nice! I haven't lost my Spanish yet! (She actually complemented my Spanish! : ) Yay!)
