Italia!


Josh, Cait’s boyfriend came to visit her in Ireland! And we all went to Italy together. Italy was stunning. We did so much in the 5 days that we were there. The language barrier was difficult but we brushed up on our Italian and we did just fine! We went to the Coliseum, the catacombs, the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon, Vatican City, the Sistine Chapel, the Trevi Fountain and so much more! We walked so much. It seemed like we literally walked for days! We met up with Jackie and she showed us some cool places. Our bed and breakfast was amazing and the owner, Sabino went out of his way to make us feel at home. Taking the metro was also quite the experience. But Josh was our fearless leader and he did very well with being a human GPS.  We also went shopping! Shopping, shopping and more shopping! I barely had enough room to bring everything home! But I did get so many Christmas presents, so that’s a plus. One thing that was a setback was that I got sick. Even still, I loved Italy! The food on our last night there was absolutely amazing and it was totally worth the wait! And the Gelato was amazing and the pizza…ah! I cannot wait to go back! We are going home soon. It is really unfortunate because it is turning out that the last month that we are here, is when we met the best people and have realized that we have some really great new Irish friends. We are finally enjoying our time here and we don’t even have much of it left. Personally I am trying to enjoy every last second of it and cherish the moments I have with my new friends.
