Roma

Spent my last day in Rome wandering around and getting lost. The city is so big with so much to see! Over the course of the 4 days that we have been here we have seen quite a lot. Every morning has been an early one with lots of walking around to the monuments. Therefore, having no agenda today we hopped on a bus and decided to search for a market. We stumbled upon a really cool indoor market filled with fresh fruits, veggies, meat, bread, etc. Picked up some fresh bread, salami, and some big Peroni beers. We took the food to a local bench and posted it for a good 30 minutes while eating,drinking, and people watching! Ah! The day was followed with roaming the streets and shops. Perfect way to end our stay here!

Over the past few days these are some of the things I've seen:
-Spanish Steps
-Trevi Fountain
-Colosseum ( Went to the Colosseum several times. The first time we just took photos outside. Outside the Colosseum, as well as other streets near it there are these guys that dress up as gladiators where you can take pictures with them . Aka tourist trap where you end up paying them for the photo. Well they are pretty smooth at getting your camera from you and snapping a few photos, and before you know it your down 20 Euro for just one picture!!  This happened to Ian and I, and clearly we weren't going to give the guy 20 Euros..ended up walking away giving him 1.30 Euro! HA..the poor guy got screwed. It was quite comical, as well as watching other tourists fall for it. One minute they are smiling and joking around, and the next their expressions drop to a frown of confusion and frustration realizing they fell for the scam!)
-Vatican
-Sistine Chapel
-Ruins
-Pantheon
-Column of Trajan
-Plazza de Repubblicia
-Victor Emmanual Monument

Looking forward to heading north to Florence for a few days!
