The biggest, baddest (the good kind of bad), and the best: Rome.
They say you could visit for two whole weeks and still not be able to see it all. I don't know who we thought we were trying to cram it into forty-eight hours. It really is overwhelming. We were running around like an episode of America's Most Wanted.
But see and experience it we did. It just wasn't on the back of a motor cycle, accompanied by a deceiving Italian pop-star, like I would have hoped....but my time will come.
Coliseum.
Roman Forum.
A taste of the local flavor.
Fountains. Highlight was the Trevi. One of the coolest things I have ever seen.
Sunset.
Spanish Steps.
Vatican.
Coliseum. Again. Only this time, I was listening to a Catholic service in Italian with the Pope. THE POPE! That's Good Friday for you.
Who's one of the luckiest girls in the world? Me.

Who will remember this forever and ever? Me.
Who's done talking about it? Okay, fine. Me.
