See our whole itinerary here! See our backpacking tips here Let chat about the beautiful city of Rome! It's very crowded with many people. We loved embracing the culture and learning from the locals.
Food: Josh loved the pizzas (Best Pizza Spots in Rome) and I wasn't a fan. Maybe I need to go back and try some of these places:) I loved the coffee at all the local shops. AMAZING! A caution: I would say be cautious as we had our bags try to be stolen three time within the few days we were there. Also the streets are busting at the seems with people trying to sell you things. They will wrap scarves around you and clip things in your hair even. I would always just keep walking and they would come and grab it from me upset :) Don't get swindled!
Let's adventure & learn!
Colosseum This was one of the most incredible historical things I've ever seen. The structure itself is an amazing site but once you start listening to all the historical information it will truly blow your mind. You can take a tour or they have phones everywhere you can pick up and listen about that rooms history! So cool! There are many people trying to make money around the outside.... we finally caved cuz' come on! how fun is this?:) Website & Tickets here

Sistine Chapel We had the amazing opportunity to see the Pope! We did wait for hours with others. It was very interesting to see the level of love and fame they felt towards him. He kissed a baby at one point and the crowed went wild:) May we all learn this level of compassion for one another! Anyways, walking around the building we wanted to go in and check it out.. It was incredible inside to see and made us feel very small. Which I bet is the purpose, putting us in our place! History behind the Sistine Chapel here. Website on the Sistine Chapel here
