Hey Ya'll,
So last weekend Sept. 10-12 I went to Rome to visit my girlyfriend Allison. So my train left Florence at 5:50am and I got there at 9am, it was some nice time to sleep and rest. Once I got there we met at this ruins and I discovered "the water fountains." So it turns out there are water fountains in Rome everywhere you go. So buying drinking water is not necessary. Here's a picture!
After that we went to the Pantheon, and a couple of the more tourist-y sites. Then she had class so we went to rthe ISU Rome studio. It has an ISU feel to it, but it's different. After that we went to the Hotel were I was staying, that was like an hour bus ride from Allison's apartment. The Hotel was cozy, and classy but not exhuberant, so I felt right at home. After checking-in is was already getting late so we decided to call it a night and Allison returned to her place. On Saturday, we went to this park that is shaped like a heart, (Awwwww) and we rented this golf cart that has pedals. Least to say, I drove, and we went off roading for a bit (I don't think the tires were too good for off roading) and at one point we had to reverse, but the cart doesn't have reverse, so it took us like a minute to reverse that thing, and people were watching, it was great! After that we ate lunch prepared by the one and only Allison Goebel, and then we went on a row boat in this mini lake they had in the park. Then we walked around and stuff, and went back to Allison's apt. were she lives with 6 other ISU girls. We made pasta and then we went to this Hill to watch the sunset, but then realize that the sunset was blocked by all this buildings, but we had a good time. So in this hill there's all this flower vendors that literally stick a flower in your hand and make u pay for it. You almost have to punch them for them to leave, but oh well they were quite funny. On sunday we found a church for Allison to go to, so we went and visited, and they sang himns and stuff, and Allison loves himns so she felt very welcomed. After c hurch we went to Allison's apt and made Pizza from scratch, and we put way too much leavening, so we had this DEEP Dish pizza, hehe, but it was delicious, i took a piece home! After that it was already time for me to go back, so Allison went with me to the train station, and we said our goodbyes. So that was my trip to Rome, i'll post more pictures when I figure out how to! Ciao'
Awww cuteee, loved the pic of you discovering the water fountains jajaja.
