Today we woke knowing that it was going to be a very busy and exciting day since it’s the last day of our trip. We woke up with the sound of the alarm clock going off everywhere and soon we were down in breakfast. The breakfast was very different from all the other breakfasts that we had. There was a range of food from eggs, ham, and cheese to having dessert for breakfast! After breakfast we headed out of the hotel and into Rome.
The first thing we did in Rome was we went to the Colloseum. The Colloseum was very unique; I have never seen anything before like it. We walk around the Colloseum for about an hour learning about the different parts of it. Everybody took great pictures of the entire Colloseum since it was such a nice day out; it felt like it was late summer. I’m sure everybody really enjoyed the weather since it was raining the past couple of days.
After leaving the Colloseum we headed out to the Forum, which is walking distance from the Colloseum. The Forum was very cool; there were still many parts of it that are not yet discovered. We walked around the forum seeing churches, monuments, and many other places that words cannot describe. It is really fascinating to see the details in all the structures around the Forum. Everywhere you turn you see very interesting things surrounding you and every time you look away and look back, you seem to notice something that you didn’t notice before.
The Forum was very beautiful, but we had to leave. The next thing we did was we went to visit the wishing fountain. At the wishing fountain everybody broke up in small groups and went shopping or went to eat. We had about 4 hours of free time, and everybody met up at about 5:45 pm to have dinner. The dinner was pasta with red sauce, chicken, bread, and we had flan for desert. After dinner we had a tour around Rome, “Rome at night.” Everything was very different at night, there were lights everywhere and everything looked so nice. The tour covered some of the areas that we visited in Rome during the day. We ended the tour with gelato, which everybody loves! Then we headed back to the hotel and it was a very fun day and a good ending to a wonderful vacation!
It sounds like the perfect day . . . from dessert for breakfast to gelato at night . . . the great weather . . . and all the wonderous sights. It is a vacation none of you will ever forget.
