Ok finally getting the Italy pictures up. There's probably going to be a lot of them and you will see more when I get home. But we had really good weather everyday we were there. It seemed to rain every single night, like downpour, but it made the days really nice out. We didn't really go inside anything but the colloseum because there was at least a 4 hour line for everything or it just cost way too much to go inside. So even though we all wanted to see the sistine chapel we decided to pass when we couldn't even find the end of the line after walking four large blocks. But we were able to find some really good pizza. haha. But we saw St. Peters cathedral and all of the ruins and the colloseum. So it was a pretty good day and I was exhausted from walking all over Rome.
