McDonalds

So I finally went to a McDolands over here. I was missing my good ol' fattening American fast food. It was not the same, I think they drain the fat. There was NO grease, and I miss dipping fries in Ranch Dressing SOOOOO bad right now.

All I've eaten over here is pizza, pasta, and salami and cream cheese sandwiches... and a really crappy McDonalds BigMac. If anyone wants to send me anything in the mail please send a double quarter pounder with cheese. Thanks.

My Feet...

Just thought you all should know that my feet still smell the same here in Roma.

Trevi, Trojan, Vatican and More...

Today I finally got out and explored Rome. My favorite thing to do is find the place I want to go, count how many bridges to get there and then walk along the Tiber river since it is very close to my apartment and easy to navigate. Today I saw most of the sites, I started towards Trevi fountain, 8 bridges away haha. 

Just a view walking along the Tiber.

There are statues everywhere. This one was lining one of the bridges.

Trevi was everything I thought it would be and more.

I loved it there and am sure I will be visiting it a lot.

I want to see it at night sometime.

Someone had most of their bike parts stolen...

and just outside of the Vatican too.

The Vatican.

Here is a kid that was chasing pigeons just in front of the Vatican.

Graffiti is everywhere. This is some on the walls lining the Tiber.

The Mediterranean Sea!

Yesterday a group of us went to a beach just outside of Rome.

These two boys were playing on a dock. Waves were splashing up against and soaking everyone. They were a riot to watch.

Here's just a couple of us attempting to jump,

this sadly was the best one, and not all of us are off the ground.

I will be posting pictures from Rome and the sites around it soon. Arrivederci (Goodbye).

Um... Pantheon?!?!?!

By the way... was just wondering the streets of Rome today looking for the housing office with a group of people and out of the blue there's the Pantheon! You know... no big deal, just an insanely old building a couple blocks from my apartment. Just thought I'd share. Ciao.

Stonehenge and Bath

So we took a 12 hour trip to Stonehenge and Bath. Two very nice places I recommend to all. We couldn't have picked a better day to go because the sun actually came out, our tour guide was freaking out because in London and around the area it is always overcast and shady.

Here is a photo of stonehenge. I took at least 20 pictures of this place but they all look the same. If you really want me to show them to you sometime let me know.

We took an audio tour and they explained the mysteries of Stonehenge and all the theories about why it was built. One theory was made by aliens. There we archeologists working on the site when we went looking for remains of an old river that might have flown through there telling them something or other about Stonehenges' origin.

This is the town of Bath. Apparently Johnny Depp owns a house here according to our tour guide. This was a beautiful city, and really beautiful on a sunny day. The town was pretty big and had Roman baths, old cathedrals and tons of pubs. We had 3 1/2 hours to spend in this city.

We walked along the river and sat in a park for a good 2 of those hours,

it was such amazing scenery. 

Here is a picture of a park in Bath. They did everything the could to get money in this town so you had to pay to get in it, but there were plenty of others to visit. 

I'm officially in Rome now after the longest wait of my life at the airport. We had orientation today and tomorrow start classes. I also hope to pick up a phone here soon, so a few lucky people will be getting some calls!!! In the mean time... stay cool and play it safe yo!

Missed my flight!

Hello everyone, Sorry it's been a while since I've posted anything last. Now I have a lot of time to post things because I missed my flight to Rome. Yep, I've spent roughly 5 hours in line getting a ticket and then another 8 at the airport waiting to board. I won't explain why I missed my flight, let's just say Rob doesn't look closely at information until the day of I guess.

It's been a long day.

Well London was amazing. We took bus tours, toured the city, shopped and ate out. We went to a club until 3 and then left for stonehenge the next day at 6, so that was a long day too. I'm definitely getting use to the time over here and have already developed that college life time schedule!

Big Ben wasn't as big as I thought it would be. It was still cool to see, and in this picture you can see the London of the eye of the sky in the background

Buckingham palace. The flag is at full staff meaning the queen is IN THE HOUSE!

This is a photo of a London cathedral from our tour bus.

Well that's all for now, hope you all enjoyed. I'll be adding some photos of Stonehenge and a town called Bath soon, and just maybe some pictures of the airport I will be at for 13 HOURS... depending on how bored I get. Ciao!
