ROMA

Rome was amazing!!!!  We ate pizza and gelato for every meal!  The weather was amazing and there was so much awesome stuff to see!  Walking though the streets was such an amazing experience, seeing all of the ruins and hearing people speak Italian! Everything was so beautiful and it was my favorite trip :) We saw so many things that I never thought I would see and everything was just larger than life!

The Santa Maria Maggiore

There were public fountains everywhere! It was so nice, people gathered around them, some cooled themselves off with the water and other just hung out there :)

First gelato of the trip and absolutely delicious

Awesome rooftop gardens everywhere

Cool steps that we thought led up to something special, but it was just another street :)

First sighting of the Colosseum!

Pretty roads

Public drinking fountains are also everywhere, which is really nice and refreshing.... I also can say that Roma has the best tasting water.... maybe another reason why I love it so much :)

Area Sacra,  this was found underground when they were going to build something here!

Campo di Fori.  A really cute piazza with a lot of restaurants and great atmosphere
