WHEN IN ROME


Art, there is so much art. Everywhere you look there are different forms like statues, fountains, mosaics, frescoes, and anything else you can think of. Today I began my day bright and early excited to see what else this city has to offer. I started off with a light breakfast then met up with the docent and we were off.
She took us to the different museums and the worlds largest church St. Peters Basilica. You can't even imagine how immense this place is, there is a six story alter inside that is short when you look up at the ceiling. In other words it is so gargantuan, huge things look and feel tiny. After the tour concluded for the day I really wanted to walk around and meet some of the locals, make some new friends and pen-pals. We found some really nice people and they showed us some hidden treasures that not everyone knows about, then they took us to get, what many say, is the best gelato in the Rome. After that I through a coin backwards over my shoulder into the world famous Trevi fountain, then we headed back to the room to get some much needed R&R.
Today could be compared to Ke$ha's (kesha's) new song TiK ToK, "tik tok, on the clock but the party don't stop, no oh,oh oh. Don't stop...". Carpe Diem (seize the day), for now this is Nicholas Banford a.k.a. Van Wilder with your Roman Report. \=~)))))

  1. Keep up the great work you guys. It's so nice to hear your thoughts about Rome and, to be honest, this actually isn't too far off from what we'd do in a day. Gelato and all!
