Roma!

We are finally in Rome! This morning we left Naples on the 10:22 train and arrived in Rome 2 hours later. I read the entire ride so it passed really quickly. I had a minor scuffle with a nun that wouldnt let me move someone elses stuff up to the rack so I could sit in my seat. It was odd. When we got to Rome we took the metro to our hostel and checked in and paid. It is the cheapest yet. Our last two nights are only 10 euros!! It is pretty nice. The rooms are basic but clean. The bathroom smells like pee cause people dont know how to flush and the pee sits in the toilet. I explained to the boys that all you have to do is give the button one hard shove, and the Sean called me the Toilet Queen. He still doesnt know how to flush it, though, and I do!

After we got to the hostel we went to the Colusseum. It is pretty cool. The outside it cooler than the inside, cause there is nothing left on the inside. We paid 21 euros for a guided tour and to get in. Tomorrow we will continue the tour at Palestine Hill and the Roman Forum. That part will be awesome. We went back to our hostel to change into warmed clothes and took the Metro to the Spanish Steps. It was packed with people, as usual. We sat there for a while and the walked to the Trevi Fountain. It was packed, as usual, as well. We all bought gelato and it was amazing. I got Coffee, Tiramisu and Foir De Latte, some sort of cream. Then we walked around that area for a while and ate pizza. Then we got some more gelato after Eric had a confrontation with and old lady. We went to the same place and I got coffee, chocolate, and the cream one again... so it was like having a mocha! They were the best combo. I usually eat them seperate but I could eat these ones together. After that we came back to the hostel and the guys are making supper right now. We are having rice and pasta sauce, which is a suprisinly good combo. It should be ready soon!
