Ugh! I'm sorry.

day 3- rome. today we woke up and had a delicious breakfast of meat and cheese (seriously, i ate that everyday for breakfast. it was weird and i loved it). we had decided that we would get going and trek it on over to the colleseum. it was a super nice day!

me taking a pic of lp taking a pic!
here we are!

on the way in, there are all these dude dressed up as gladiators. too funny!


the road there
old stuff


on our way to the collosseum!







whoa. it's almost hard to believe how old this stuff is!












the inside, where the gladiators used to kick it!









after we walked around for a bit we decided to walk over to an area called the jewish ghetto. we walked around for a bit and found a really amazing leather shop. lp was looking for a briefcase/bag for work and this shop was awesome. the man and woman who worked there made all the bags themselves! we found the perfect bag for him and decided to grab a drink while we thought about it so we walked over to this open air market and sat at a table outside. it was great people watching!






i was getting hungry so we decided to find this pizza i kept seeing everyone eating. it was this little pizza shop where no one spoke english and it was fast and crazy, but i ate the best pizza of my entire life there. ever. it was sooooo good that i burned my mouth the whole time i ate it because i couldn't stop eating it! after we ate, we went back and got lp's bag. it was really cool! by now, it was about time for my daily nap so i headed back for a little down time. when we got up, we decided to head over to the place we had found our first night that had the huge fish in the window. it was yummy! i had the most delicious gnocchi ever. so good! we then decided to head out for one night on the town. i'd read about this club that had 50's and 60's music (sidenote: lp and i are really into this genre of music. it is SO MUCH FUN to dance to!!!). when we got there, a band was playing. they were pretty good and it was fun to hang out and drink bellinis for a bit before we decided to head home. as we got out of the cab by our hotel, we noticed the bar by our place was super crowded and kind of jumping so we decided to stop in a grab a beer. or, a liter of beer. that's right, i ordered (without really knowing how much it was) a liter of beer. ha! and gross. we sat there for a bit and then poured the rest of our beer into plastic cups and took them to the fountain to finish them before heading to bed. overall, a great day in rome!!!
