An Evening In Roma

Hi friends!

For the first school-sponsored trip of the semester, I went to where dreams are made of - Rome of course!

Fulfilling my Lizzie McGuire childhood goal of going to Rome was so exciting and, overall, a great experience. Here's a little summary about how each day went.

Day 1

The Vatican Coat of Arms

The Spanish Steps

(currently under construction)

The Fashion District with Dior, Gucci, and it's own fountain!

Trevi Fountain

Making Wishes

 One coin means you'll return to Rome in the future, two coins is that you will fall in love with an Italian, three means you will marry one!

Gelato - yum!

The Outside of the Pantheon 

The Inside of the Pantheon 

St. Peter's Basilica in Rome

Each person on the fountain in front of the church represents a famous Italian river.

Amazing ravioli!!

The sauce was so creamy and rich.

Ice Bar

Everything including the glasses for the drinks were made of ice!

Minus five degrees calls for some fashionable tents for us to wear.

Day 2

Castle Sant'angelo 

View from the top!

All the people going to St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican for the Jubilee!

The Vatican Museum

So pretty outside and in!

Map of Italy - here's Florence!

Vatican Coat of Arms with the Keys & Bees

Aristotle's School of Athens

Sistine Chapel

Shout out to my friend, Emily who took this since I was too scared!

The thinnest pizza I've ever had - it was similar to a tortilla!!

St. Peter's in the Vatican

Prettiest church I've ever seen!!

A cardinal walking by!

Toulouse-Lautrec Exhibit

Fried rice ball with mozzarella and marinara - amazing!

Love you too, pizza :)

Day 3

The Colosseum 

The Arch of Constantine

Hello again

All the secret basement areas of the arena - so cool!

Circus Maximus

Orange Spritz

Focaccia with Mozzarella & Prosciutto 

Almost like a pizza & oh so good!

So there you have it, Rome in a nutshell.

I loved seeing the city, except it only made me miss the calmer vibes of Florence more - definitely glad to be back!

I have a few new posts coming through these next few days so be on the lookout.
