Rome

Taking a sip at the bottom of the Spanish Steps
Next time, Trevor, next time!

The Pantheon

Mystic light and hordes of people inside the Pantheon
First day in Rome, ladies and gentlemen!!!! We got up and had breakfast, then embarked on our journey!!!!!!! First off we went to the Spanish Steps. Well, actually we wanted to go there but the bus route was so confusing!!!! We ended up accidentally going to the Piazza Venezia where there was this humongous church that you had to walk up over 100 steps to get to. Inside the church there were so many hanging crystal chandeliers!! The singer "Sia" would've loved it! (Get it cuz she sings that song, haha!) Also the view from outside the church was stellar!!!!! I loved seeing all the little side streets connecting together!! So let me just say that Rome is the hottest place in the whole entire world. I felt like I was walking on the sun it was so hot out!!!! We finally ended up taking a taxi to the Spanish Steps!! The Spanish Steps themselves weren't that interesting to me because they just looked like stairs (which I've seen before in my life) and it wasn't like there was a good view at the top!!!! I really did like the water fountain at the bottom though. I got a refreshing drink from there! Next we walked to the Trevor Fountain. On the way we stopped at this really popular homemade gelato place. It had meringue gelato!!! Can you believe that?!!?! I love meringue so much so I cried when they had it in a homemade gelato flavor!!! It was so amazing! There were these crunchy bits of meringue marshmallow in it and it was so gooey and creamy!! We continued on to Trevor Fountain but once we got there, we were very disappointed!! It was under construction so we weren't allowed in!!!! I guess we'll just have to come back to Rome another time lololol! We stopped at this super cool magic shop as we walked to our next location! The guy inside basically gave us own free magic show!!! He showed us all his best tricks and we even bought one! Next we went to the Pantheon and it is incredible!!! There was a huge circular hole in the ceiling that let light shine through and lit up the whole church! After exploring for a while we came home for a break because it was way too hot out. As soon as we got home I left again with dad to go to the grocery store!!! MY FAVORITE!!! This grocery store was the biggest and best yet and I picked out a lot of great treats!! We got so many groceries and then had to carry them all home in the hot heat. Waiting for us at home was delicious soup made by mum. Yum yum!! Also at home I watched two episodes of PLL and Tobin and I worked on our magic trick which we then presented for mum and dad later. Every single night a square near our house plays a movie in it for free. Over a hundred people just go sit in the square and watch it so we went too! They were playing "The Grand Budapest Hotel" but it was in Italian so we didn't stay that long. For dinner we walked to this groovy restaurant. They played funky music and all the waiters kept dancing. It was very fun! After that we came home and went to sleep!! Creep it real to all-mimirockzzz king Julian
