Hello Roma!

We're in ROME! I don't think I'll be able to write much in here, but I will when I can!

I think the thing i'm happiest about is sharing Europe with Jonathan for the first time. Every corner we turn around is something incredible, everything is so OLD and meaningful, and we could people watch all day.

We got in on the 4th of July after - not kidding - the stereotypical baby crying for 10 straight hours sat right behind us on the plane. Jonathan had a seriously murderous look in his eye around hour 6.

But we arrived and had lunch - so excited to see nearby Italians actually ordering spaghetti. (we also loved how our hotel receptionist said "Italians... They like to have a whole pizza for dinner... But not for lunch. No, for lunch they like to have just a slice of pizza." We were like, really? That's really what you eat? Haha.)

We saw the colosseum! Wowee wow wow. We crashed at like 5:00.

Yesterday we had lunch in a market, saw Vatican city & at night I had a craving for gelato at the trevi fountain... & I think every single other tourist had the same idea, haha. We sat & people watched. Crazy.

We've seen Italians taking so long to eat, so today we sat & had a 2 hour lunch. The italians who sat down after we did actually left before us, BOO yah!!!!!!!

I think tonight we're going to go walk down by the river (why do I have Chris Farley in my head? :) ) & then tomorrow we train it out of here! Sooooooooooooooooo excited! Yay!!

PS amendment: we did go down by the river and discovered a tiny plaza where I think, oh, every Italian person in Rome was hanging out at 12:30am. It was surreal. We literally thought there must be some sort of annual event going on or a giant pub crawl. Nope, as one bartender put it: "We just like to have fun."
