I spent the past four days in the incredible city of Rome for holy week and let me tell you it was an experience I will never forget! Rome is the oldest and most beautiful city I have been to this far. Walking around the city felt like I literally stepped into a history book or the movie set of gladiator. I went to visit my best friend Amanda who is studying there and she showed me all of the sites and gave me the scoop on the amazing ancient city. I am planning on going back before I leave because Rome is a city that is so vast and magnificent one needs to spend more than just a couple of days there if possible. We all know that a picture is worth a thousand words, so rather than rambling on here I will let you see for yourself!

| Amanda and her friends refer to this monument as "the birthday cake" because history tells that it was built and given as a birthday gift to an Emperor in Rome. |
