I couldn't fall asleep last night until like 2:30, probably
because I took a nap yesterday. I woke up around 8:15 and got ready. We went
down to breakfast. I had some toast with honey and a chocolate croissant. We
then all headed to the metro to go to the Colosseum! Since I had been there
before, it was nothing new really but I still love it! It’s so amazing to me
the history and the amazing architecture that has lasted this long. We walked
around, took a bunch of pictures, checked out the gift shop, went outside and
took pictures of the exterior. We got a slushie which hit the spot because it
was so freaking hot already and It was only like 11:00 in the morning. We met
back up with everyone and then went to the Palantine Hill ruins and walked
around. We took breaks in the shade a lot because it was so hot. It’s super
nice that they have the water fountains everywhere to fill up water bottles and
such. We walked through the forums and then walked down and grabbed some lunch.
I split a chicken sandwich and some Pringles with Cassidy which was pretty
good. I got a gelato and we just chilled. We met back up with everyone at 2:00
and just walked around the ruins some more, saw the Trajan Column which we saw
a copy of in the V&A in London. Then a bunch of us headed back to the
hotel. We stopped at the grocery store on the way and got coke and chocolate. Sam
and Kas had stayed behind so I had to be let in to my room because I thought
they had the key. I jumped in the shower and just stood there because it felt
so good. Apparently Jess and Shelby knocked on my door and when I came out to
get my clothes, they all walked in and got mad at me because turns out Kas and
Sam left the key at the front desk. Oh well. Stephen and Tayler came down to give us something and told us they were engaged!!! He did it at the fountain down the street from our hotel and was just really cute! I'm so happy for them. I love them and they are the cutest together. Anyway, I got dressed and ready then we all just
kind of hung out, facebooked, did pictures, and stuff. At 7:00, I met Jess and
Shelby downstairs for dinner. It turns out that you have to have a group of at
least 8 people to eat at the hotel. So we just went out to get pizza with Sam
and Kas. The pizza place we went to was weird – they had a bunch of weird kinds
with like potatoes and stuff but no cheese or pepperoni… and I was feeling a
little heat stroke – I got sunburnt pretty bad and we were out in the sun like
all day so it makes sense. But I wasn’t feeling too hot so I just didn’t get
any pizza. After they finished, we found a gelato place. I, of course, got
gelato. I got tiramisu and caramel and it was super yummy. We then got on the
metro and went back to the Colosseum to see it all lit up and stuff at night.
We took tons of pictures and just had a good time. We asked these guys to take
a group picture of us and they did. Then we took a group picture of them. They
were from Alaska and were really nice. We walked around a bit, took more
pictures. Around 9:30, we headed back to the hotel. I’m blogging and going to
bed because I’m super tired. I hope everyone had a wonderful day and I’ll see
you on Friday!
