  • Favorite Thing: See all the major sights. In Rome, the Eternal City, you can spend at least 2-3 days exploring. You can spend an entire day in the Vatican Museum. There is so much to see here, and I don't need to expound because you already know this. Enjoy!

    Fondest Memory: The Trevi fountain with Mariangela was great. My friends and I started a tradition to sit and drink a bottle of wine in the evening on the fountain steps. This is great, as there are hundreds of people sitting around enjoying the atmosphere. Throw a coin over your shoulder into the fountain, and you will return again.
    With Mariangela, we paid a guy to borrow his bouquet of flowers he was selling, and took a picture of us with the flowers. This was really funny, and unforgettable. We also drank the traditional bottle of vino on the steps.

    In the picture you can see the Castel Sant Angelo, and the bridge. The Bridge was an execution spot, and the castle was used as a fortress and escape location for the Pope. There are tunnels underground going from the Vatican to the Castle. You can also see St. Peter's Basilica in the distance.
