Hello Rome!

Today we got up early! 6:00am to get dressed, eat breakfast, pay the hotel, take 2 buses to the train station, wait at the train station for an hour ride the train for 2 hours and finally get to Rome. All on very little sleep because again I did not sleep well. but I did sleep on the train for a while so that was good. once in Rome we jumped on a bus to our hotel. We got the hook up because James knows a priest who frequents this hotel with pilgrims. so we are special guests. We also told them it was our honeymoon so they sent up strawberries and champagne. as most everyone knows, james does not drink so I get to drink all the champagne. woot! we fooled around in the hotel for an hour or 2 and decided to head out to find food and see some sights. We went straight to St. Peters because its very close to our hotel. It was crazy packed so we didn't go in. James took me to see some other churches and sights. I was very tired but we decided to eat out and go see some other things because we are spending so little time here in Rome. We went to the Trevi fountains and threw a coin in backwards and found a restaurant to eat at. I was feeling a bit more peppy after food so we went to see the Pantheon. That is an awesome building. wow. then some ice cream. On the way home we got a little lost, which is easy to do in Rome. So it was about 9pm when we finally got back to the hotel. I am one tired girl. Our hotel has a bathtub which is something our other hotel did not have and I missed and I really wanted a bath. though it seems i have "if you give a mouse a cookie" syndrome and when i saw the bath tub in our room I wanted some bubble bath. luckly on our roamings around Rome we stumbled on a Lush! James bought be a purple lush bomb. mmm! I jumped right in the bath with a glass of champagne and my lush bath bomb. it felt so good to soak and the bathtub is huge and deep! now we are off to get some coffee and a pastry. Rome is a cool place and I like it but I think I like Florence better. I am pretty frickin tired right now and I apologize if none of this makes sense. we are going to get up early and go back to St. Peters to see the inside tomorrow. woo. busy busy. Ciao!
