Wow, it's really coming to an end. I spent last night disposing of shoes that couldn't survive Rome, backpacks that have too much dirt from Vesuvius, and sweaters that frankly the washing machine tore to shreds. I'm cleaning and clearing the way to pack...I have some amazing memories, and I still have ten days left!
Rome was incredible. We got to see the Pope!! He blessed the people on Sunday in over eight languages....it was amazing. We toured the inside of the Colosseum for over 3 hours, saw the Trevi all lit up at night, saw a wedding taking place in the Pantheon, climbed St. Peter's Basilica (544 steps), and ate just about every kind of Italian food you dream about (pasta, lasagna, pizza, espresso, gelato, pizza, wine, olives, caprese, pizza....more pizza). We popped our heads in every church that we came across, probably near 15, they're all stunning. Rome is so beautiful, incredibly romantic and breathtaking. I have some great pictures to post in the next two days and cannot wait to write all about it.
Anyways I'm just figuring out my lists of things left to do and see here. There's still so much....and lots of stuDYING and packing to do.
Miss you all, perhaps a little less now that I know I'm seeing you sooooooo soon :o)
Lots of love,
Kate
