Italy: Day 7, Last day...

Today was our last full day in Rome =( We are sad to be leaving but very happy to be going home as well! We got an earlier start than usual this morning so we could fit what we wanted to into the day. We started with breakfast and then went to a church nearby that we were looking for because of a famous statue that is inside that Greg read about in Dan Brown's, "Angels and Demons." Next we headed to the Pantheon so that we could see inside (the other night it was closed). Then we went to the most famous gelateria in Rome for one last gelato experience near the Trevi Fountain. After that we went back to Vatican City to find another monument from the book Greg read. We shopped a little on our way back across the river and stopped for lunch at the best place we've eaten all week where Greg had the penne carbonara and I had orrechiette arrabiatta. They were both really yummy! On the way back to the hotel we went back by the Spanish Steps to look around and went by a few more shops before getting back to the room. We put all our stuff up and then went to dinner at a restaurant near the restaurant we went to on our first night. I had pizza and Greg had a calzoni and we both had the wine (as with every other meal we've had...it's the same price as water lol). We stopped for our last italian coffee and dessert on the way back to the hotel to finish packing. We had such a nice day and night and it was the perfect last tour of Rome =)
