Italy: Day 2...

Yesterday was a fun, loooong, exhausting day of walking and sightseeing! We went back to several of the sights we went to on the first day so that we could take the pictures that were erased from Day 1. We literally walked ALL over Rome! We had a great time though and enjoyed the beauty of the city and each other's company! We went to Vatican City and sat in on a mass in St. Peter's Basilica and saw the tomb of Apostle Peter which was pretty amazing! We after dinner we walked all over looking for a cannoli, we finally found them in a cafe near our hotel so we stopped for dessert and coffee...in retrospect we should have skipped the coffee. It is VERY strong here and we went to sleep and then woke up at 1am and were up until almost 4!! This mornin we got up and ate breakfast in the hotel cafe, where Greg set a croissant on fire...literally, it went up in flames. It was HILARIOUS!!! But don't worry, we didn't burn the hotel down =) After breakfast we went back to sleep for a bit and are now on our way to catch the bus for a hop on hop off tour to head to the Colosseum and other sites that we didn't get to yesterday! I'm going to try agai with adding a few pics from yesterday...see you soon!

PS_ A funny story from our first day, we stopped to eat in this small family owned restaurant and these two American women walked in after us. I heard them talking while Greg was in teh restroom and asked where they were from...GREENSBORO, NC...how crazy?! AND they had friends in Kennesaw...what a small world!!!
