Day 5

We went for along walk today exploring the center or Rome. And I mean a long walk. Longer than walking to the Vatican. The mission was to go the the four fountains of Quattro Fontaine and we stopped at some places along the way.


This first place, which I forget, but I will reference later is in the picture below. I feel a little tired right now to brush up on history, so that is why. But we had fun checking it out.
At the back of this building, you can see the ruins and the Colosseum. We did not get to it that day, but another day we will.






We talked by the president's house where a bunch of fresh new soilders were coming out and piling into a bus. They were wearing their tradtional outfits, which I know nothing about, but they had guns. They were probably around our age. Two of them were kate's and Iris's boyfriend for like 5 minutes, as well as some buys on a mopede. Talking about mopedes, I see them everywhere here. I think i really want one now....


Our next stop was the Trevi Fountain, a really magical place. Throw money in for good luck. it was another popular place for people to go since we saw so many there...



Allas, we finally reach the four fountains, but the intersection os so crowded, it was a little hard to enjoy.






Then we went to the Spanish steps, lots of people there. I lost people for a little bit, until I saw Nicki running down the stairs. I thought that everyone was at the bottom, so I started to run down as well, following her. Then when i get to her, she says that she ran down so she can run back up them...kjfkejfhbdfjh. I did not feel like running up the stairs for fun. Oh well. I finally reunited with everyone else.





We then walked down Via di Corso, which is the street for shopping. They have all the Italian name brands, like Gucci, Versace, Prada, Blvgari, Swarvaski, Mont Blac, etc. A lot and lot of people. We stopped int he Store called Mango, which is like the store Strawberry in the U.S.A. Ended up running into Menhaj, Victor, Scott, Shirley, and Nick. For everyone who doesn't know who they are, they are fellow student of mine. What are the odds of meeting them in that store in a city be barely know....


After that, we left, went to the supermarket, cooked dinner, chilled for a little bit, I took a little nap, and we over to someone else's apartment for a lilttle. Came back and went to bed.
