Ruins from ancient Rome, the time of the Roman Empire (~300AD)

Rome was absolutely beautiful! I was there Friday through Sunday and we saw SO many different sights: the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the old ruins of Rome, the Vatican, the Sistine Chapel, Saint Peter's Basilica, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, and probably everything in between. The sights were absolutely gorgeous and the weather couldn't have been more perfect.

I went with a group through the school, an inclusive, and we had English speaking tour guides and I'd be betting to wager we walked at least 8 miles every day we were there because we walked from each site to the next. It was exhausting, but totally worth it. And the food you wonder? Absolutely amazing. 

On Sunday, before we took our tour, we went to a HUGE market in Rome. It is easily a shopper's paradise ranging from everything to clothes, boots, jackets, jewelry, trinkets, souvenirs, everything you can possibly think of. Needless to say, I left with a pretty blue necklace and a few other things. 

I hope that you like the pictures! There were so many to choose from and I chose the ones of the main sites of the city. Enjoy!
