hey all, its great here, we (MYSELF, MY BROTHER, AND MY DAD) just spent the day wandering thruogh rome. beautiful city, there is alot of grafitti throughout the city, but ok, where to start, on sunday, we boarded the plane out of kelowna, after a short 1 hour flight, we reached vancouver, we had a four hour layover in between flights, so we sat around for a time, we boarded the flight which took off after another half an hour. man, first class is the way to go, not that i got to go first class. i was stuck back in thrid class. small leg room, but it did have video on demand, free, so on the 8 hour flight over the atlantic i watched verious movies, aswell as napped. upon reaching london, were were behind schedual, so we dashed through customes, through the air port, and in to the waiting room for another halfanhour wait, and caught our flight to rome, we reached rome at 9:00 PM, their time, which was 1:00 pm our time, so we had been up for 24:00. We then proceded to battle our way through a maze of busses and subways. ariving at our hostel late at night. The next morning we woke at 10:00, which is midnight for you guys, and proceded to retrace our steps to the coleseum. yes the coloseum is big, tall, and all other adjictives, but there are many cooler sights, right beside the coloseum are the ruins of past palaces, shuch had many amazing sights, the buildings were frequently 3+ stories tall, we walked alng the senate, weaving through a myrid of streets, the most frequent type of restaurnt is a pizzaria, the second? a gelatoria, (like icecream), and yes, there are bars in mcdonalds here)
after losing our way multiple times, we reached the patheon, one word amazing, 2000 years old, and no, that it the right number of zeros, a massive dome, vivid colors, a nine meter whole in the peak of the dome, no glass, amazing. we then marched over to the vatican, saw pope pauls tomb, then when into the cathedral, WOW, it seats 60,000 ppl, yes, sixty thousand!, gold inlay, marble evrywherem massive, wow
after that we went back to hour hostle, there is a super market beside it, let me put it this way, CHEAP BOOZE, $.99 for a beer, $1.50 for a bottle of wine, so, cheap
