ROMA - ITALIA

ROME, ITALY ~ January 22-25, 2009(Above: The Coliseum. Below: The Roman Forum)
Rome was simply incredibly and I still cannot fathom that I was in such a historical place. Check out the albums to see what I saw. We went to the Coliseum, the Roman Forum, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, The Vatican, St. Peter's Basilica, Piazza Navona and so many other places. Andrew Hagen, Josh Seale, Shannon Kirkpatrick, Christine Fischer, Kelci Haye, Caroline Forbes and myself were in our group and we got an apartment, which was definitely a smart move and very convenient. I ate gelato at Giolitti's (highly recommended!) and consumed more pizza in one weekend that I often do in a month - Italian food is great!

Switzerland is still great and I will be writing about my time in Vienna, Austria this past weekend when I have time. There are many things due this month such as my FAFSA, my Junior Writing Portfolio and I need to do my taxes, too, haha. I'll try to update this as much as possible! Take care everyone!
