Roman Holiday

Hello everyone, it's Eugene Blogging you all from Rome :) and it's my turn to blog about our trip. The 8 hr train ride from Nice, France to rome was a neck cramper. When we stepped off the train we were greeted by are long awaited tour guide aka Sara Dermody, who was waiting for us for 2 hrs :( but that's how the cookie crumbles sometime. The five days of are nine days we stayed in Rome was at a nice and quite bed and breakfast 5 min metro ride outside the center of rome. The first night Sara took us out for are first suppli's, which was amazing! it is a deep fried rice ball with mozzarella cheese melted in the middle and was so tasty that after my first bite, I went into a food coma. It's the best thing to eat in rome for only 1 euro. After suppli's we headed toward the coliseum where my mouth dropped with amazement, this is we're it all happened, it was a place were people's death's were entertainment for audiences. As we walked past the coliseum, I imagined the tens of thousands of people pouring into the coliseum to find a seat to watch the gladiators fight for their lives. The second day we walked around sight seeing the roman streets and around every corner their was history and people from all walks of life. Later in the day we headed back to are bed and breakfast and hung out talking about the next three days ahead of us. The third day we headed toward the typewriter or some call it the wedding cake because of its resemblance to both names. Once in side we walked around the museum and hung out for a few hours to escape the heat. All the walking around built up an appetite for all of use so we headed to a small pizzeria for some pizza mmmmm. What I thought was interesting is you don't pay per slice but by the weight of the pizza. Colleen and Sara have been to Rome before so it wasn't anything new to them. As we ate our pizza we ended up watching people for 2 hrs walk around lost looking at their maps and feeding the pigeons. After we headed back home to rest and drink wine and make are very own pasta with baked eggplant with mozzarella melted on top. The following day we headed out early to explore the coliseum, palatine hill, and roman forum which I would say that they all were nice to see but the coliseum was by far the coolest place I have ever laid my eyes on. Our tour guide Sara was a huge help in answering any questions Which was awesome to learn all the history behind Rome. Thanks again Sara. Later that nigh we all went out for dinner at a small family owned restaurant that reminded me of Bucas Italian resturant on Howard street in the city. The old heavy set man working the register was the owner, I could tell because of all the photos of him on the wall with people he or italy thought are important. As Colleen and Sara were getting drunk of their small bottles of wine i couldn't help but notice that italians talk as if their arguing and then making up by laughing over and over again. Through out dinner I would mention to the girls that my but was sweating and over and over again they thought I was playing so as we headed to the front to pay the bill I could hear Sara giggling and Colleen shout out OH MY GOD your ass Is drenched in sweat. As I stood their embarrassed both of the girls couldn't stop laughing which drew attention to me and my sweaty ass. Remind you all who are reading this the inside was packed with people and oh, wait the front of the place with tables outside were too. okay okay you all can light it up because I'm sure that someone notice two girls following me laughing with their cameras pointed at my drenched ass. So that was the last night we had with all three of use together. So me and Colleen are here in out tent resting and spending the last few days in Rome by the pool soaking up some sun and then it's off to Florence. Till next time from Florence love jean and coco :)
