ROMA

For Easter, my host-family brought me to ROMA. We were more there to see their family for Easter, but I still got the chance of visiting Rome

      

Since I was a little girl, I have always wanted to visit Italy, more precisely: Rome. And there I was, in a car, with people I have known for less than a month. Their relatives didn’t really live near the city center, so I think that’s the reason we didn’t see all we could of in 4 days.

On my first day, after we ate diner, we decided that we should go visit the city. It was about 11 pm. We toured the city by car for a while before making our first strop. It was really creepy, because it was really dark outside, there were no street lights and I didn’t really know where I was. So there’s this door up on a hill. When we look in a hole, you can see the dome of San Pietro’s church.  Then, we went to see the Coliseum! WOW. I had brought by Canadian Flag because I really wanted to take a photo with the Coliseum. So it’s midnight passed, I’m hopping everywhere to try to find the best place to take a photo. I pass in front of a bar while hopping with my flag as a cape. It was so funny. Then, when I saw a really good place for my photo, there were two people kissing. A proof that I’m in Europe! After a stop for a coffee, we were heading back. Other than that, I visited the city center of Rome another time. I went to the fountain of Trevi :) I saw a lot more than that, but the fountain was a must! I even saw the Pope in the Vatican City!!! One evening, as were doing nothing, I started to look at was playing on TV! There was the last regular season game of the FLYERS. So for the first time after more than 7 months, I watched an HD Live hockey game!

You may not really see it, but the Pope is on this photo! :)

I had the amazing chance to celebrate Easter like Italians. If I could say one word to describe it, it would have to be: FOOD. I have never eaten that much in all my life! IT IS CRAZY! At lunch, I was already full after the soup, but that was only the beginning! I think we sat at the table for about 2 hours. For diner, I only ate an apple!

I hope that I will have the opportunity to come back at least once in my life!

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
