Rome, Italy

The next stop on my trip around European continent- Rome, Italy!

This trip is by far the most nerve wracking of our entire trip. Why? Because we're on our own in Rome. Scary, yet so exciting!

During our trip abroad we also get a summer break, in my eyes not really necessary because the ENTIRE TRIP is a vacation! But moving along, we have 4 days and 3 nights to go anywhere we'd like to go. We currently have a group of 11 students that are Rome bound.  Im so thankful that we were able to get a large crew to go, because the more there are the safer we should be. When we're in Rome were staying at someones apartment. Not everyone was comfortable with hostels, and we all agreed this would be the best plan for us.

Were going to try and pack as much as we can into the few days that we have in Rome. Our apartment is located in the center of Rome so we are very close to the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, and the Pantheon.

We are planning a day trip to visit Florence, Italy. It is a quick trip by train and is a great way for us to see more of what Italy has to offer in just one day!

We also want to visit the Roman Forum, the Spanish steps, any and all ancient ruins, and hopefully the smallest country in the world-- Vatican City! I'm Catholic, and have already been fortunate enough to visit Notre Dame, and I would LOVE to visit the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica.

Im so excited to eat some true Italian food. I already love pasta, pizza, and gelato, so I'm thinking I should just move to Italy now and get a head start ;)

31 days until we leave!
