Talk about history. Rome, as you know, has so much of it. It was so cool to be able to see all these things in person. I can’t believe people live in places like that with history that old all around them. Rome was the last leg of our trip and I’ll be honest and say when we got in we were a little cranky with all the people flooding the streets. You could not move. I thought it was only that bad in the summer, but I was wrong. It was a bit of a shock after visiting the almost deserted Cinque Terre. Obviously we knew it’s a big city and it would be crowded, but I didn’t know it would be that crowded. Even still, it was an amazing city to see. My favorite part was definitely the Colosseum. I was in awe the first time we caught a glimpse of it down the street.
I actually used my iphone 4S for a lot of the photos in Rome. I probably should have mentioned this in the beginning of this Italy blogging series, but what does it really matter? There are quite a few pictures I posted that were from the iphone. I guess that just proves that the best camera is the one that’s with you. I’ll admit I got a little tired carrying around my big camera all day everyday (I’m not used to it as much I guess) and the lens I brought wasn’t quite wide enough at times so I used my iphone a lot in Rome.
So here it is. The end of the trip… Rome.

The Vatican… St. Peter’s Square

Piazza Navona
The Pantheon
Victor Emmanuel Monument… one of the coolest ones I think.
Our first sighting of the Colosseum. And it’s all decorated for Christmas.
