Mae Abroad

Guess what? Its raining in Rome. Typical. We made it to our hotel, Hotel Saint John. Its really close to the Colosseum so we just walked down there. Actually the San Clemente Church is right across the street, I didn't bring pants with me though so I need to get something to cover up my knees because all I have in my wardrobe are dresses. I have a cover for my shoulders, I was told that before I left but I read in many books today thats its proper to have your knees covered as well. Since today is Sunday a lot of places are closed but we did stop at this small place down the street for lunch, Kyle got pizza which he wasn't too impressed with. He's too spoiled with Naples pizza now, hes ruined for life with all other pizza places. I just got the house insalata caprese (caprese salad), the mozzarella di bufala (buffalo mozzarella) is heavenly over here! L for Laura! This was laying on the street and of course I had to pick it up, Kyle thought it was gros...

We are on our way to Rome right now. The weather has been beautiful so far today! It's made for such a wonderful drive. Much better than yesterday's adventure through the rain. We had amazing cafe freddos (sweetened iced espresso) at the little cafe down the street from Kyles place. We booked a hotel in Rome at Eurostars Saint John Hotel which is near the Colosseum. I think that will be our first adventure, the Colosseum and Imperial Fora which includes the Trajan's Markets and the Arch of Constantine which I want to see more than the actual Colosseum. Freaking LCAD did that to me haha. Then off to the Foro Roma (The Roman Forum) and if we have time the Pantheon. We are going to see the Spanish steps for sure but not till nighttime as well as the Fontana di Trevi (The Trevi Fountain). ♥   Mae
