Today we officially arrived in the city of Roma! It is everything I dreamed it would be! Where we are staying is a dream! We are staying in a convent just outside of the Vatican City! I was worried as we headed there, the word convent doesn't have a good connotation. I was expecting an outdated, old, dungeon like place. I was not excited! To my great surprise the convent is the nicest place we've stayed so far! It is so cozy and nice. There is this beautiful garden that over looks the city! It is spectacular!
I'm going to love it here for sure! There is just so much history in this city! There is too much to take in! I got to see the colosseum today! Oh my heck it is amazing! It was such a huge architectural feat! It's a beautiful work! I wish I could jump back and see it in it's prime! It is an indescribable feeling to see the history right before your eyes. I have read about it for years and I finally get to see it in person!
Ancient Rome is beautiful! I was so excited to see the Pantheon!
It was every not as spectacular as I imagined. It had such a gorgeous structure! It is now a Catholic Church. That is one thing I do not like about Rome. I have loved learning about the Roman Empire and a lot of the monuments that I have loved learning bout, have been altered. I forgot about that part of history and have been expecting to see the Roman Empire at its height not the Christian history that overtook the area when the Romans fell. I get a little disappointed everytime, but the structures are still gorgeous!
As I was trying to get back to the convent this evening, I found myself above Rome at sunset. The view was gorgeous. While it was really out of the way to get home I'm glad I ended up there! It was a great way to end the day!
