Day Trip to Toldeo

Last week, we took a day trip to Toledo, Spain. It was a really neat city except it was horribly hot and the hills were miserable to walk up. Other than that, it was fun times!
Do you see how red my face is? That's because it felt like the inside of an oven in Toldeo



I tried a sardine. It was disgusting. NEVER AGAIN!

The Vatican and more of Rome...

Day 2 of Rome was spent touring the Vatican. We did a guided tour which was worth the price because our tour guide was able to tell us everything there is to know about the Vatican. It was such a cool experience!

When in Rome...

The second weekend I was in Europe, we went to Rome for the weekend. Rome is a fantastic place and we did all the tourist things that Rome has to offer. We spent Friday seeing Ancient Rome and then Saturday at the Vatican (pictures will be in the next post because I got tired of uploading). Rome is definitely in my Top 5 places I have visited. Even though it was soooo hot and we walked soooo much, I had a ton of fun. Maybe one day I'll get to visit this fabulous city again!
At our hostel the first night
Cool looking building
Gelato is really good!
Trevi Fountain
The Pantheon-
Piazza Navona
Spanish Steps
The Colosseum
The Roman Forum
Where Caesar was killed
Rome had water fountains everywhere and the water was free!
After exploring all of Rome, it was time for dinner!

That pretty much sums up Day 1 of Rome. I took a lot more pictures but it takes to long to upload them all so I only put up a sample. Day 2 will include all my Vatican pictures!
