When in Rome...

Do as the Romans do.

I'm not sure exactly what this means. Everyone I've met who is Italian is from another part of the country. However, they still know the go to areas for food, which are usually sketchy but totally delicious.

Yesterday and today I walked around the city and explored all that it has to offer. Of course I visited some iconic landmarks like the classic arch and coliseum.



There are so many museums and things to see here. Rome is also a very hot city during  the summer. I'm refusing to take public transportation or tour buses in order to save every Euro possible. I can also find a lot more interesting places on foot. But, this means that every place I see with shade and a place to sit I stop and take a break.

When I see all of the beautiful buildings it is hard to believe I'm actually in Italy. Sometimes I need to stop for a gelato or glass of wine just to soak it all in.

Tomorrow I am visiting the Roman baths. I enjoyed them so much in England that I decided to visit  them in Rome. I am also going to a park recommended by some Italians. Wednesday I am going to Vatican City and will hopefully see the Pope 's weekly prayer.

Until then,
Kristin
