Italia Italia

Well we are back from Italy and we had such a good time. We left for the airport at 5:30am Sunday morning and arrived in Italy Monday at 8:30am. The flight was long but not to bad. When we arrived at the Italy airport we had to wait for Mauricio, Jodi, Sirlei, and Farah's flight to get in. When they arrived we grabbed a taxi and went to our hotel, it was so nice getting there and changing out of the clothes we felt like we had been wearing for a week. The first day we went to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and walked around until we ran into the Colosseum. The second day we went to the Vatican and saw St. Peters Chapel, hiked a billion stairs to the Cupola which I am pretty sure we lost about 20 pounds doing, and walked around the city. The third day we went to the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, and toured the Colosseum. Everything we saw was amazing, Rome is such a great place with so much history I am still trying to grasp everything I was able to see. The piazza's are beautiful and we loved hanging around them each night and then eating gelato later, which we did every night. We all had such a great time and it was hard to come home.
