July 2

Today we went to Rome. We woke up super early and took a train. It was almost time for our train to depart and Rachel and Jessica weren't on the train. We ended up leaving without them hoping that they would get there some how. Later, when the ticket man came by he told us that they had gotten on the wrong train but were still going to Rome. When we finally arrived, we took a tour bus to each of the main sites. Our first stop was the Colusseum. It was so cool to be there. You always hear so much about it but to really be there was amazing. It is so crazy how old it is. It was suprisingly smaller than I expected but just as spectacular. Our next stop was the Pantheon. This was really cool too. I loved the oculus at the the center of the ceiling. It had just started to rain but not enough to notice water inside the building. After that we went to Vatican City. We just stayed outside because the line was so long to get in and we didn't have a long time. Our last stop was Trevi fountain. It was such a huge fountain! Then we had a long train ride home. It was really amazing to see everything in Rome but the people there were very unfriendly and the men were very creepy.Waiting for the train... before Jess and Rach got left...
