Rome, Italy


Roaming Around Rome
The eternal city with colossal landmarks.

By this last leg of the trip, I was absolutely tired of seeing the touristy & traditional sites of museums, art galleries, churches, etc. I wasn't the only, as many other travelers just wanted to feel the city than run around with maps and books not really taking anything in. I managed to make my own guided walking tour to the more important destinations of Rome, but really seeing it once was good enough for me. I enjoyed Rome's nightlife, shopping, and landmarks and must make another visit in the summer.

Patty, Luis, Sandra, and Filipe some cool Mexicans from Sonora.
The fashion in Italy is where it starts. As you can see fur and stone washed jeans are in.
Andrea and Alicia cook up a traditional Sicilian meal for some friends in the hostel. People from the south are really welcoming and enjoy the company of others.
