Roma

Roma in Five Senses

What I saw:

• In the Vatican, I saw many beautiful pieces of art work including paintings, sculptors, and tapestries. 
• I saw a glimpse of the Colosseum. We were around the area of the Colosseum and I was like a child looking for Santa at the mall. I was continuously trying to catch a glimpse.
• Places I saw: Vatican, Capitolini, and Villa Giulia. 
• Stores after stores... of beautiful dresses. No worries, I didn't even enter a store. Saddest moment of the weekend.

What I heard:

• Heard the screeching of the metro and the random conversations of Italians talking about us. 
• On the Tram, we heard the musical talents of a guitar player.
• While walking around Rome, we caught conversations in German, French, and English. 

What I tasted:

• Sadly, nothing too delicious. Nothing worth a picture in other words.
• Friday, the awful crunch of frozen pizza -that I could of made on my own.
• The sad truthful that dinner didn't get better. Once, in Italy you think any pizza is at least decent. False. 
• To be honest, best pizza I had in Rome was at the bus stop -give you an idea of how awful the food that I consumed was?!?
• I did get gelato (of course -one in every city!), which wasn't too terrible. 

What I smelled: 

• The smell of food wafting onto the street. 
• The flowers on the back of a delivery truck.

What I touched: 

• Salty fries.
• Germy handrails of public transportation. 

Note: I didn't want to half-heartily rant to you for two paragraphs, so I decided to try something new.
