Rome - Day 5

Wow, 5 days already... no wonder I am tired....

I haven't killed James yet, Paddy has been keeping me from him.... they hang out a lot though... starting to wonder.

Today we got up and had breakfast at the hotel... it is included... very nice setup and very nice hotel. We are on the 4th floor overlooking Rome in the background.... the architecture is awsome and the people are great. Paddy decided to hang in the room today and rest up, very tired from the last couple of days.

James and I sat down and decided where to go, at least the first half of the day. We headed out to a Piazza to check it out, and went to a catacomb where a church used the bones from over 400 monks and decorated out of them. Very cool but wierd at the same time... I got postcards to show, so when I get back I will scan them in and share them.

We then headed up to the spanish steps.... thank goodness we ended up at the top and had to walk down, I would have died... James says I have only completed half the journey, he is welcome to go back and walk up them any time he wants.... me FEET HURT! We did stop off at a church at the top of the spanish steps and hang out... Sunday Mass was going on and that was kind of cool.

We headed down towards this thing for Agustus and ended up at some piazza that was real cool. We hung out there for a while while people sat at the fountain making out... James wouldn't kiss me... so we left. We headed down to the Tiber River and walked back to the Agustus thing.... it was closed as they were doing some repairs.... I did manage to pry a little rock out of the wall for Marciano.... hope I can get through customs.... :)

James and I split up at this point... I was tired and wanted to head back ot the hotel. James wanted to go look at some other things. I ended up walking back to the hotel and got lost... ended up seeing the Pantheon and Trevi Fountain.... all I can say is Amazing... pictures are awsome and there were like a billion people there.... I finaly made it back to the hotel and got a little rest... had McDonalds and just relaxed... I know.. McDonalds! I wanted to save a bit of money and I was tired... it still cost me 9.50 euros. James showed back up at the hotel about 6.30pm... he got lost too... James says he was temporarily misplaced... (LOST!)

We are currently watching Fantasy football and paying 2 Euros per hour on the internet... we are going to go get something to eat and then head back to the hotel to rest up for tomorrows adventure... maybe Paddy will feel up to heading out into Rome with us...

until tomorrow.. our adventure will continue...
