Two Scoops

Day two I was going to actually get off the bus and explore a few of these places. I walked around teh coleseum, went in teh Pantheon, and got so many tourist pics it was great. I was exausted by 3 and came back to the hostel for a nap until 5, had some dinner then wanted to see af ew of the big sights by ngiht. I convinved a guy from the hostel to come with me to avoid mugging, so we hopped the metro and went to Teravi fountain. Incredible.

Of course in Italy you have to have Gelato so we went for one of those. Well let me tell you, I was wearing a grey sweat pant material dress- we're talking minimal shape, borderline un-attractive, however comfortable and good for 40 degree weather. Well apparently this dress is hot stuff because the Italian man at the gelato place asked where I was from, said he loved it there, I was beautiful, I had a nice body, and gave me my ice creamm for free. Well as if I wasn't uncomfortable enough, he then asked me if my boobs were real. I acutally laughed right in his face and then bolted. Its a good thing that cone was so good so I forgot about that- until a police officer said Oh la la to me today. I can't catch a break.

Today I saw basically everything you should see when you come to Rome. I went in the Colosseo, the Roman Forum and St. Peter in Chains Basilica. then I went to Vatican city and saw the sisteen Chapel and unfortunatly for me my brain is mush because it has been blown too many times here in Rome.

Don't worry though everyone I'm on my way to Barcelona tomorrow to mett Emily and I'm sure we'll do a lot of education things and reconstruct my brain- or lay on teh beach and drinkl wine.

Rome's history is so overwhelming.... and try having your non-english speaking relatives explain things to you... talk about mental exhaustion. I also agree with the gross graffitti everywhere that the city gave up trying to paint over and makes SOME areas of Rome look like the slums.... anyway glad you got to see lots of the sites! But hope you come home soon :)
