ciao bellllllllllaaaaaaaaaaa!

ciao from roma!

today is our second full day in Rome. The ferry over from Barcelona was INTENSE. We didnt get any sleep and everyone was smoking right there on the ship, standing next to NO SMOKING signs. haha. and then we got off the ship and we were basically just standing on the port, with no idea what to do. Luckily a guy from vancouver teamed up with us and we found the train to Rome. So far we love it here. All the food ive had here has been fantastic, more flavor than anything else ive ever tried. The pizza is thin and not greasy and the esspresso is the best in the world! seriously! We wanted to do something fun for ourselves and so we asked around and decided to cut our hair! Emily went drastic and got it cut short and dyed violet black! it looks greatttttttttt! i just got mine trimed and styled and i feel like its the best haircut ever! maybe just because were in italy? anyway, yesterday we walked to the Colosseum and it was sooo amazing! Its really annoying that there are all these people selling stuff outside it though and they constantly harrass you! Then there are these really nasty looking ladies and they try to use there little babies to pull at your heartstrings and get you to give them money...let me just tell you, it doesnt work! Today were going to the vatican and the sistine chapel. Im prepared to be totally blown away. Also, weve decided to come home after italy. so after rome were just heading up to florence and then venice and then im heading to oregon to look for a job and start saving up money again :) miss you guys!
