Rome was incredible! The weather was perfect, blue skies with big fluffy clouds; it really couldn’t have been prettier! We started the trip by spending the day at the Vatican, it was breath taking! As with all Catholic owned spots the Vatican was over-the-top extravagant with gold leafing on every surface, marble, and life-sized paintings and statues of all the popes. We hiked to the top of the Vatican to get a full view of Rome, and it really is an incredible city! Once we left the Vatican we hit the town and visited as many Piazzas as we could fit in, my personal favorite of all the Piazza’s we saw was the Piazza di Navaro. Every time we went it was a new adventure, not to mention the beautiful fountains they had there! The first time we were walking through there were hundreds of artists out, I loved walking through and watching them paint and perusing the one they were selling. The second time we went there was an Italian Communist Youth Rally that was very exciting, and the last time we walked through there was a real life mime performing! I loved it
