rome!

Ok so this is the second time I have written this blog update because I am on a computer without a click so I can only right click and the right click options are all in Italian so yeah...
First thing about Rome is it is bloody hot! yesterday it was 100 degrees plus humidity! you walk outside side and are instantly sweaty (fun!). our travels here went easy we found out our train to Florence will be free so that is great and we found our hostel very easily and we had no problems (yay STA!). we then went out to explore random things. so we started at the famous fountain, I know the name but cant be bothered to try to spell it so incase you are thinking fountain? there are tons of fountains in Rome I will narrow it down. this is the one in all the movies and you throw a coin in it with your right hand over your left shoulder. It is extreamly pretty and super crowded. we sat and looked at it for a little while which was cool to just enjoy the fountain. then we went off to find the Pantheon- we ended up following a tour group straight there. the pantheon was under construction in the front which was lame but the inside was fine and free! the thing about Rome is that when you go into a place like the Pantheon everyone is quiet it is a nice change from everywhere else. actually before all of this we had pizza and it was the best pizza I have ever had. then after the pantheon we had galato and I am going to say that it is a good thing we are walking miles upon miles because the food here is just too tasty! oh the gelato was made out of real fruit and was amazing especially on a hot day! then we went to this random little church that the tourist info guy said was not to be missed. it was super cool and the mosaic ceilings were increadible. it was great to see. then we took off to find the mouth of truth (you know the stone thing from roman holliday where Gregory Peck pretends that it ate his hand and Audrey Heporn gets all shocked). we found it but 3 min after it closed! I was very sad about this. then we went to find the spanish steps but on the way I went to the bathroom and it was the most interesting bathroom experince I have ever had. first I had to buy a 4 euro drink, then there was no toilet seat (this is very common actually), and then no toilet paper and no nifity water thing that starts with a b either, then no soap, then it smelt so strongly of chemicals that my eyes started to burn and then I got out to find the guy had kicked katie out of his shop. so funny. then we stumbled upon the most expensive shopping district we have found yet the only thing missing was Coco Channel. then we finally found the Spanish steps which if i remember correctly were designed by the Italians, payed for by the French, named after the Spanish, occupied by the British, and now Americans travel miles and miles to sit on them. we followed tradition and sat on them for a while. then i noticed people were going into the fountain and drinking the water so I decided when in Rome! and did it too, I was a bit worried about the quality of the water but it was fine and actually have found that everyone drinks from the fountains. then we came back to sleep and found that our ac in our hostel was broken so we baked all night.
Yesterday we got up at 6:30 to got to the Vatican before it filled with people. we got there when it opened walked right into the main building (that has a name) the sun was still low in the sky so there was a really cool light affect in the windows and everything was so pretty. then we eventually found the sistine chapel area. waited in line these people tried to tell us we would be waiting over an hour and wanted us to buy a tour but we got in like half an hour later. I have never seen so many statues in my life. I took a pic with a few ceasers including Julius. when we got to the actual chapel I was blown away. it is so amazing in there words just cant explain how awe inspiring it is. I tried to sneak pics but they werent very good... then we found the pope mobiles litterally. and then explored a bit more, I went into the square and took more pics. then we went over to the castle but did not go in and the we stopped to eat I got pasta it was amazing! then we went somewhere else I cant remember where and then we went back to the mouth of truth! I got my pic taken and it was everything I thought it would be! then we went up to the old part of the city saw the coloceum (i am perfectly aware that that is not how that is spelt) and lots of other ruins then we walked around saw some more fountains and yay. oh I bought some shoes yesterday at some point. over all great day. today we are going to see the old part of the city in more detail it is going to be awesome. I will update as soon as I can.
