Via Livorno 5 Rome, Lazio, Italy, 00162, 39-06-44-29-2471
Dylan had decided that he would need some more sleep, having missed out on so much over the last night. I had other plans. I wasnt going to sleep my first day in Rome. I needed to get familiar with the area, so that after that, I could concentrate on visiting places and enjoying them. Of course, I decided to head straight to the Vatican. It has always been a source of mystery to me. I didnt know what it was like. They say its a church, its own country, a city on a hill, and possible the most...
Vatican City, Lazio, Italy dhrycunFirstly, Im not gonna lie. Ive been dreading doing this one for sooooo long. Not because theres anything bad in it or anything, but mostly because the longer you leave these things, the harder it is to remember. Dylan hasnt got back to me yet with his coles notes of the days, so Im just going to try to highlight the main things, although its the small little things that do make the trip. Im now two days into Switzerland, which means I have a huge amount of writing to do tonight. But its only...
Rome, Lazio, Italy dhrycun Rome was my final destination. I arrived there at 11 p.m. I was worried that I could catch a metro to my hostel. On the train, I met an middle-aged Asian from U.S. and talked with him, but as soon as the train arrived, I rushed out and ran to the metro station with some coins in my hand to buy a ticket quickly. As a result, I could make the last train, but if I missed it, I might walk to the hostel, because I didn't have much money and know how much was the taxi fare to my hostel, neither.
Our train arrived in Rome near 10am. I slept well during the ride. The weather here is gorgeous, sunny and must be at least 75 degrees. We bought all day tickets for the metro, which also allows us to use the bus. Our hostel was 3 metro stops away. We are currently at the hostel, Youth Station, and Jason is in the shower while I am on the internet. The hostel is very clean and the people here are friendly. We have a 12 person room with a private shower. Once Jason is ready we will be checking...

... 2 in Rome we headed for the Vatican City to visit the pope haha. We arrived at the Vatican using our bus pass still and took some pictures of where the pope is. Then we headed over to the Vatican Museum where we wanted to see the Sisteen Chapel and the works of Michelangelo. The museum is the second largest museum in the world which I had no idea...there were tons of paintings and beautfiul rooms with painted ceilings...they ...
Rome, Lazio, Italy kkb-myadventure... to Caravaggio canvases and a dome that features Raphael's mosaics depicting the Creation of the World.<br><br>The Trevi fountain is beautiful and the Spanish steps are larger than we first thought.

Rome, Lazio, Italy zachsmomI'm trying to figure out a new way to upload pictures. And I thought I would be able to just upload them all to snapfish.com and then post the link. But that doesn't seem to be working out. So, until I can figure that out.. If you just e-mail me I can send you an invite to see the pictures. I'm really sorry about the inconvience. :/
Rome, Italy sosman... ok so things we visited were.... piazza barberini, colosseum, roman forum, spanish steps, trevi fountain,where annoying dudes tried to push roses in your face in hopes that you would actually pay them for it... we saw some interesting penis pasta at a store, but dont worry we did not buy it, but we did buy some cool pepperoni spaghetti... as the sun began to set we jumped on the metro to piazza del ...
Rome, Italy joeymegtrip... of the multitude of artwork collected by the Vatican. They have an amazing collection, but it does make you think twice about giving to the collection plate on Sunday. My favorite rooms were the Raphael rooms, mostly done by Raphael I rather enjoyed his sense of humor, placing people of all ages in one painting, discussing theology, and including himself in the corner. Of course, to finish the buffet of art, there is the Sistine Chapel. I think you could spend ...
Rome, Italy newearth11... place. Very happening on Saturday night, large crowds, wonderful statues/water fountains. We sat by one of these outrageous sprinklers and shot the **** for a while. We had a drink at one of the bars, but we had to stand since it cost over twice as much to sit. Afterwards, we splurged and sat down at another place for a drink. At this point, these people we were supposed to meet up with finally showed their faces over an hour late. They were heading off to some bar somewhere. They ...
