Roma Bella!

Well I've been told my past posts have been a little negative on my abroad experience. But give me a break, I haven't even been here a whole week! So let me brag about some positives...like how GORGEOUS this city is!!

There are so many things to see in Rome! I saw practically everything in a matter of days, but those definitely won't be my only visits!

I live a few blocks from The Vatican, which is awesome, because I love the neighborhood around there! ! And I just recently learned the neighborhood I am living in is wealthy. Swagggg. I haven't gone in to St. Peter's yet, but I will soon!

This is the outside surrounding St. Peter's. It literally looks like that part in Hercules where he knocks down all the pillars in the square.

St.Peter's! Incredible!

I don't know why I just fell in love with this pathway of trees. Even if there are no leaves.

Just around the neighborhood.

There are so many amazing sights and monuments, and I can't even imagine how all of this was built. Every building has so much detail, even the cobblestone streets, imagine laying those all over this entire city!

Another monument I saw is the Pantheon. It was literally just in the middle of a neighborhood. And the inside is gorgeous.

Still inside.

Luckily there is a metro stop literally right in front of the Colosseum! It's amazing to visit such a historical site! Okay I hate to reference everything I see to movies but I'm doing it anyway. If you have seen Jumper (with Hayden Christensen ;)) he goes all around the Colosseum, and I couldn't help but think of it the whole time. Even the street leading up to the Colusseum. If only I could teleport inside, because it costs 12 Euros. For now I'll admire it from the outside. But I'm definitely going to have to go in!

I told you Jumper was there!

Okay I actually took this one. 

I'm obsessed with these trees!

And the churches here are just amazing!! So beautiful! If the buildings are so detailed on the outside, the churches are just ridiculous on the inside! From the art on the ceiling, to the pulpits, the walls, and basically anything else you could find in an ancient church. I roamed around a few, and one we stopped in, the organ began to play inside, and it was just an awesome feeling. Just to be in this ancient city, sitting in this gorgeous church, and filled with music. It just felt perfect.

Pictures really don't capture them right, but it's close enough!

This city is just incredible, and I'm excited to explore it and live in its culture.
