Day 15
Rome, Italy
Reading: From Dead to Worse by Charlaine Harris

This should be my "last day of vacation, wah wah wah" post, but to be honest, I'm too tired to do one justice. I'll do a proper wrap up post when I'm back in LA. After my 17 1/2 hr flight home. When I have plenty of time to think.

Last day in Rome was fun, jam packed and exhausting. I do believe I've walked more in the last 3 days than I have in......years. Today included:
A tour of the Colosseum and Forum and Ancient Rome (awesome)
Two different helpings of gelato- strawberry the first time, mint chip the second (awesome)
A long walk to the one thing I really wanted to do in Rome- see Bocca Della Veritat and get a picture (awesome)
Meeting up with new friends (fun)
A tandem bike ride through Rome's version of Central Park (awesome and somewhat dangerous but hilarious)
Another looooooooong walk through the middle of Rome to get to a fun place to eat (not so awesome)
Another helping of speghetti carbonara (my least favorite of the 3 I've had but still good)
An argument with a random vendor selling tourist crap (hilarious)
The Trevi Fountain at night (awesome)
Another LOOOOOOONG walk way out of the way back to the hostel (NOT awesome but at least I was in good company)

So yeah....vacation over. Long flight tomorrow. Will think of something poignant to say about my trip when I have my wits about me.
Ciao!
