More Fun in la Citta!

So we decided to be a little smarter this time out. Our new friends Sarah and Emily have been in Rome since last semester, and they kindly offered to show us around the town with out other friends Katie and Colin! Our first stop- Della Palma- the most amazing gelato ship of my life!!!! 100 flavors!!!! Seriously the chocolate was orgasmic! A consensus agreed upon by all the ladies present. Also available at this shop are Pope Suckers. Yes, those would be lollipops with pictures of JP II and Benedict on them. Quite exciting. On top of this, we made it to the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain, and Piazza Navona. The fountain has to be one of my favorite sites in Rome. All of these places are just magnificent historical beauties hidden within the midst of the city. As you walk through stores and streets you will suddenly turn a corner and there’s another masterpiece. It’s hard to explain, but these places aren’t roped off or well marked, they just suddenly appear within the midst of a modern city. Finally, Sarah and I of course had to throw our coins into the fountain and make a wish. We felt much better about the city after such fun- Roma finally started to feel like our new home!
