A couple of weekends ago Nicole and I traveled to Rome via train to visit our friend Tony Macias, a Pi Kappa Phi at CSU, and of course to see all of the wonders… one word: amazing!! To start, the train was really neat and I felt kind of like I was from Harry Potter. The first day we did the Vatican and I am pretty much obsessed, as it is something that I have seen pictures of and learned about my entire life, we didn’t make it to the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, but we decided that we need to plan a trip back to squeeze that part in. But we did climb Michelangelo’s Cupola, which is the highest point in all of Rome, all 400 and something steps – tiring but well worth it. We also visited the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain that day. We threw coins into the fountain so we will see if the superstition comes true (that one day you will return to Rome)!!! The second day we saw all of ancient Rome (the Colleseum, the Roman Forums etc.) that was amazing too. We stayed with Tony in his apartment of 8 guys – they were all so much fun and a blast to go out with! Both nights we went out and had a ton of fun. Both of the nights that we stayed there we went out with the boys. The second night was so much fun! We went to an Irish pub called Scholars and danced the night away to oldies! Overall, I’d say that with all of the sights topped off with the great company, this was the most fun I’ve had in one weekend since I’ve been here! We are already planning a trip back to Rome to see all of the things we missed!!
