italiaa

omg italy was so great. if you wanna see the pictures, theyre on facebook. i got to see all of the important monuments in rome, like the spanish steps, the trevi fountain, the cat sanctuary, the vatican (st peters basilica AND the sistine chapel) and the pantheon, the colosseum... and i went shopping A LOT. i also saw the roman forum. my favorite part, though, was on the last day when we took a one euro train 20 minutes out of rome to Ostia Antica. It's an ancient city that used to be a seaport but due to earthquakes is a bit inland now. it was amazing. most of it isnt restored, so its basically just a city of ruins that you can explore and climb on. the coolest thing was the awesome black and white floor mosaics of amazing scenes and the amphitheater. so much funnn
