122 Days in Europe: When In Rome!

Day 112: Wining and Dining with Rats!

Well this morning started off with me finishing packing then we headed off to Schipol. It didn't feel like I was going on a trip really, maybe I am imune to traveling now. The flight was so so, of course I had a seat in the very back of the plane, but oh well KLM is great and gives us really good snacks and drinks! I think that I have said it before, but I highly recommend flying with them if you have the chance! Then we got to Rome and the real adventure begins. We have to find a way into the city, which is really hard. We ended up taking a private shuttle to our hotel, which ended up being great because one we got to see the city and two we didn't have to try and find our hotel. After this we got food as all of us were starving. Brittany and I did the typical travler thing and split our meals so I had lasagna and mushroom shrimp fettuccine, SO GOOD! During dinner I had a white wine which was also really good, but the best part of dinner was when a rat who was sitting under the table next to us showed up. Jazmyn didn't like this of course and said she was going to punt him. Me on the other hand was ready to defend him. Oh I forgot to tell you about who we met in Rome....a person from Des Moines! How crazy is that! Then we also had a nice talk with the people from Oklahoma that sat at the table next to us. The rest of the night was awesome. We hit up Trevi fountain and saw the Colloseum all lit up at night, I drank out of one of the public fountains and had amazing Gelato....after all of this excitement we hit the hay.
