Say what?

Here it is! The blog of my adventures abroad. I arrived safely yesterday afternoon to my apartment in the Roma Trastevere area. Spending four months with six other girls will be an adventure in itself. After settling in and unpacking all my stuff, we set out for a night on the town! We went to see the absolutely breathtaking Trevi Fountain. Yeah, that's my life for the next four months...crazy right!? And of course you have to throw coins in. The first coin is for returning to Rome, the second coin is for love, and the third and final coin you throw is for wealth.

After staring at the amazement of the fountain, food was the next item on the list. We found this little hole in the wall pizzeria and ate there. The pizza was delicious. I mean how could it not be? After eating we went to see the Trevi Fountain at night with all the lights. Still gorgeous. The next stop, the Pantheon. I mean really? How is it possible that this is my life?? The Pantheon was gorgeous as well and huge. The entrance was bigger than anything I've ever seen. Sitting in front of the Pantheon was fantastic. So what next? What could top off my first night in Rome? Gelato! Of course that was pretty darn delicious as well. Walking back to our apartment with gelato in hand was a great way to end the night.

My first night in Rome was great, and I'm pretty sure I'll have many more great nights while I'm here for four months and this is where you can hear all about it! More posts will be sure to come :)
