We are finally in Italy! We arrived at our hotel in Rome early yesterday morning and just walked around the city for a while. Then we took a taxi over to the market at Campo de Fiori. The taxi ride was insane! I thought traffic in Atlanta was bad, but it does not even compare to driving here. They drive so fast and don't slow down for anyone. The streets are also very narrow, and if you roll down the window you can easily touch the car next to you.
After, the market we took a break at the hotel and headed out for dinner. They served us tons of appetizers including mozzarella cheese, salami, cantaloupe, and bread. For the main course I ordered fettuccine al gorgonzala which was delicious, and for dessert they brought cheesecake with berries and biscotti. Once we were finished we stopped by the Trevi Fountain and headed back to the hotel for the night.
Today, my cousin Alexa and I went to a pizzeria with my parents and ate lunch before spending more time exploring Rome. We went back to the Trevi Fountain to see it in the daylight, and then just walked around the city. After a few hours we stopped for some amazing gelato at a shop called Blue Ice and headed back to the hotel to rest. Right now the plan is to go back out later tonight and maybe meet up with the rest of the family who headed to another town nearby for the day.
