Buon Giorno Roma!!!
We arrived safely to Rome and we are having the time our of lives! Everyday is an adventure but we are doing our best to adjust to the culture here. Rome is an absolutely beautiful place. We have seen so much already in the short time we have been here. Our first full day out we were told to "get lost" and that we did! We walked all over Rome and ended up at the Colosseum. It was spectacular! The best way to see everything is to "get lost" amongst the many streets. It is amazing how out of nowhere you see an incredible site! We walk into every church we come across and we are never disappointed. They are all simply breath taking. It has at some point even been emotional to be inside these incredible places. We went inside the Colosseum yesterday and it was more than I could ever imagine, just amazing. There really are no words to describe it. One can't help but marvel at such beautiful sites. The food here is wonderful! Kendall and I have eaten pizza and pasta almost every day! However, ordering food here is much different than in America. For example, most restaurants you eat standing up or you eat while you're walking. Our first night we ordered a slice of pizza, they folded it up and handed it to us in wax paper and we ate it just like that. Last night was our first night out and we had a blast! We went to an Irish pub called the Scholars Lounge. It's an Americanized pub where mostly everyone speaks English and they play American music and have American sports on TV. A bunch of girls from our group joined us last night and we all took shooters (my very first) together and enjoyed eachother's company. These are a few highlights of our trip thus far and we hope to post more very soon! Miss and love all my friends and family and I hope all is well :)
