When in Rome

Italy was awesome, so many sites to see, and so much history. We started out by visiting the Roman Colosseum where gladiators battled to the death. It was crazy that they were able to create such an amazing structure so long ago. There were many beautiful fountains and ruins all over Rome. We enjoyed seeing St. Peter's Basillica, it was definitely a great and spacious building. Next we were off to Florence. Florence was a great city, crowded, but cool. We saw the statue David by Michael Angelo, it was bigger than I thought and his pee pee was showing so Amber liked it. We experienced gelato on top of waffles which was delicious. The Italian Pizza was definitely a let down. The food situation wasn't looking good from Italy, thank goodness for McDonalds(the most crowded place in Europe). Traveling in and out of Florence got interesting a couple times, we spent hours waiting for bus number 2...bus number 2 never showed up. Our favorite Italian word "eschusi". It basically means excuse me. We drove out to the Italian coutryside and saw hundreds of grape vineyards, but unfortunately they were plucked clean. We saw the Leaning Tower of Pisa. This is the most popular mistake in the world. Italy was a great start to our trip, we really enjoyed our time there.
