So today was honestly one of the best days of my eurotrip! it was AWESOME :D
First off, I got about 5 hours of sleep, which was better than the 3 hours I had received the previous night. haha. We headed to the vatican at about 9am. I was super stoked to see the vatican city, and i learned that it's actually its own country??? say whatttt??? anyhow, last night I met some guys while checking my facebook and they decided to go to the vatican with us in the morning as well. So we went with them, and met a few other cool ppl on the tour with us.
The vatican... gosh was it beautiful. I can't even describe to you what the fresco paintings of michaelangelo looked like in the sistine chapel. I even suck a few pics of his artwork of the sistine chapel. Totally didn't get caught, proud of my picture. haha. The Basilica (aka, St. Peter's) was absolutely BEAUTIFUL... oh my word was it HUGE and just soo magnificant. Gold and marble everywhere. it was seriously so crazy gourgeous... The pope is actually coming to the city tomorrow, so that was neat to find out.
After our tour of the vatican,we walked up St. Peter's and went to the top of the dome (aka cupola). It was about 530 steps and it was totally worth the walk being able to see all of Rome from the top!
Then, after that, we decided to go to the Spanish Steps. Saw them, took some pics and then headed back to our hostel and took a 30 min nap to just regather ourselves. lol. We ended up going to this really cute place for dinner, and I had literaly the BEST PASTA EVER! it was soo soooo goood. We then went and saw the colloseum at night and got some sweet pics!
And afterr thattt, we bought some wine and sat on steps of a fountain in front of the pantheon and watched some entertainment. Then we moved to the trevi fountain and just chilled. We found our friend claire from our hostel as well, and hung out with her. it was nice to finally be with another FEMALE. hahaha. tomorrow we are all going to explore Rome again together and then go out at night :D should be a grand grand time! miss you guys!
