Roma bella

So we made it! We've been in Rome officially for 6 hours, and have fallen in love with the city - although the language barrier is something new again haha. I keep speaking Spanish! Oops - at least they can understand me! 


We dropped our stuff off at our hostel and explored for a little bit - going for paninis and gelato because of COURSE, we're in Italy and have to eat what they do! Darn...


After stuffing our faces we headed to the Colosseum and old city district, which was amazing! Its only about 10 minutes away from our hostel, so its the perfect location! The old city was amazing, we're definitely doing an actual tour (ok, buying the tickets so we can go in, and not just walk around) tomorrow, but for now we just explored. We also went to Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II, a huge shrine and tomb of the unknown soldier. 


Colosseum!

The monument...



As for right now, we're relaxing, and heading to the Trevi Fountain soon for pizza and tiramisu (yes mom, I will have a bite for you I promise!!). I can't wait


As they say in Italy...ciao!
