I am back from Rome!

I have returned from Rome just this evening!
And it was a whole lot of fun, which sadly I am going to have to wait to tell you about because I have a rather large final project due tomorrow.
I will post a few pictures though, and tell you just a few things.
First, we saw almost every major historical site and modern landmark in just two and a half days. Yes, we are amazing, thank you. We are also tired. My feet sort of hated me by the end of Saturday after we spent hours upon hours in the Colosseum, the Palatine Hill, the Forum, the Vittorio Emanuele monument and museum, the Tiber Island, Circus Maximus (it's a field with old stands in one corner now, we walked past and waved, basically), the church with the mouth of truth, back to the metro, over to the Piazza di Spagna (Spanish steps) up past the Medici Villa, into the Borghese gardens, back down to the Piazza della Repubblica where we finally paused to watch Transformers three in Italian. Which was wonderful, I might add. Mostly made so by the fact that the cheesy dialogue is even cheesier in Italian. (Optimus=Optimoose)
We left our hotel at 8:30am and made it back to our room at 12:30 am. I don't know how far we walked. If you want to know, just google map it on the right side of this page. I am too tired.
And that was just one day. I will tell you more later! here are some pictures, though. And some details you will just have to look forward to having explained later :D
