I had an amazing time with Aimee in Rome! On Thursday I took a train to Roma Termini, and I 
got some food and some muffins and waited for her to come! Unfortunately, her flight landed late and she had to wait for her luggage. So I did some homework and walked around and ended up buying a book that talked about Portsmouth! So that was nice! Then she finally came and she got off the train and looked at me funnily, and she goes, ah I think I left my bag on the train! It was funny! So anyway it was so nice to see her! So we walked to our hostel which luckily was only like 5 minutes away. We went up to our room which was for 6 people and there were people already sleeping, so we tried to be quiet and unpack and stuff. Then my friend Mike called, and he was staying at the same place! So we 
hung out with him. Then my friend Tom called from Perugia and he was in Rome with friends so we went to hang out with them too! It was fun! We wanted to sleep in, but it was kinda awkward because there were other people in our room. So this one girl woke us up and told us the cleaning lady we coming so we should leave soon. So we got ready and we took a very long bus ride to the Vatican! We stopped and got a cappuccino first, very Italian of us. We were confused as to where we wanted to take a tour, so we asked a lady and the museum had closed. So we decided to go back the next day! Next we went to the Trevi Fountain and tossed our coins in. It was a very pretty fountain, but also very busy! Then we were in need of an icecream break. So we found a 
place and each ordered two scoops of gelato. However, we received a 13 Euro gelato monster! The thing was huge! Mine had a lot of flags and Aimee’s had a pretty silver sparkler. After our “meal” we went to the Spanish steps, which were very pretty. We had read (in Mom’s packet of course) about a McDonald’s which was suppose to be very pretty, so of course we felt the need to stop. And it was, by far, the prettiest McDonalds I have ever seen! So we stopped for some French fries! We also did the Pantheon, and then got a good night sleep! Saturday morning we were up early and we went to the Vatican Museum. We ended up doing a tour which was so nice because we were able to pass by the people who were waiting in line (for hours) We took the tour which 
was good and then we were able to see the Sistine Chapel which was really cool! We had to keep reminding ourselves we were in Rome! After that we went to the Coloseeum and again did a tour to skip the lines. It was crazy to hear about all the violent and bloody things that took place there! Next we went to the Roman Forum which was very pretty! We called it an early night since Aimee had an early flight. After I she got on the train to the airport, I was off to see the Pope! I got to the Vatican around 11am and sat down to read my book. However, it started to become cold and right before 12, it started to drizzle a little. But anyway he popped his head out of a little window, and waved (he was waving to me obviously!) I waved back and when he 
started speaking Italian, and I didn’t know what he was saying, I was outta there! I’m really glad I went though!
