CIAO FROM ROME!

Sooo...it's been quite the adventure so far from almost missing our flight, to chatting with the police, and jumping into monumental fountains, which results in Ashley ruining her precious iPhone! We are soaking up every second here, which means running on 4 hours of sleep. One thing we've noticed...Italian men LOVE American girls!

Tonight we're meeting up with Flavio & Friends, time to chill with the locals!

Sites We've Seen Thus Far:
- Colleseum
- Palestine Hill
- Vatican
- St. Peter's Basilica
- Piazza Novona
- Roman empire ruins
- Sistine Chapel

Things we LOVE:
- GELATO
- Jumping into fountains ( Not to worry, no arrest this far)

Key Learnings:
- Police are policemen at night and criminals by day!
- Metro not bus (We've definitely failed on the bus)
- Air condition hostel is a must (2 fans just don't cut it)
- Don't lock your keys to your suitcase lock inside your suitcase
- No need to wear closed toe shoes to the Vatican - Covered you shoulders and knees is all you need! Don't worry we work our Mom sneakers with jeans and also covered every inch of our shoulders....we probably lost about 20 lbs in water weight. Consequently, we haven't exactly figured out the mathematics, but we seem to be retaining water, at an exponential rate.
- Look over the menu prices before committing to a table and ordering a glass a wine to avoid the temptation to up and leave your Albanian waiter.
