Rome, Italy

Roma Roma! Ok, so I definitely loved Rome. The Vatican was spectacular, the Coliseum was

everything I imagined (and more), the atmosphere was incomparable. This is an amazing city. So vibrant and alive, pizza and pasta everywhere, I even tried my first cappucino. For someone who doesn't like coffee, that's a big deal..and I loved it! This turned out to be the last city of my trip due to things happening at home, but it was a good

way to go out. I was able to spend more time with Sonia and Seema from Vancouver (who I met in Florence), and we met up with Pete from Scotland who I met in Budapest. I was nice to be in such a great city with such great people.
