Rome

This was the last part of the journey of studying abroad. We got to Rome at 4 the first day and we literally saw Rome in 8 hours. We saw the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon, St. Peter's, the Coliseum, and we even saw the President of Italy! We were worn out after that day!

The next day we started out at St. Peter's Basilica. We went inside the beautiful church and we got to see the Pope. We spent half of the day there. Then we made our way to the Vatican, which is right beside St. Peter's. This is a museum filled with A LOT of statues and paintings. This is also where the Sistine Chapel is.

Friday we went to the Forum, which is a bunch of Roman ruins. There was so much history there! Then we went inside the Coliseum. It wasn't as big as I thought it would be on the inside. That day we also went to Circus Maximus, where the Romans had their chariot races, and we also walked along the river. I had a really great time in Italy, but I was really ready to get home!
