My best friend since birth, her younger sister (who is also one of my best friends), and their parents came and visited my family in Greece a short time ago. To say we had the time of our lives is an understatement. I am so thankful they got to come over to Europe and see where I live! We have gone all over Arkansas and parts of the south together, and we finally got to travel to Rome and Greece together! Before coming we made a joke about how we were rednecks (we Arkansans tend to be a little crazy) and how we were going to leave our mark on Rome. We started off our adventure in Rome and saw all that we could see in just a short amount of time. I did not even feel sorry for their jet-lag because we were in Rome and were all so excited to be there together. Well, I might have felt a little sorry for them when they woke up at three in the morning on a couple of occasions... The weather was almost perfect (it rained one day, but we were in the Vatican museum for most of the time it was raining), and the company was even better. Everywhere in Rome is beautiful, so we made sure to get pictures everywhere! We had gelato a few times, which is obviously a must. We ate pizza and pasta galore! We went to the Trevi fountain twice - once to see its brilliance at night, and the second to see it and take pictures without the big crowds. We saw lots of beautiful, yet different, churches and loved every minute of it. Outside of one of the churches we visited, at the Piazza del Popolo, a guy was blowing bubbles and we had such a fun time trying to pop them and taking pictures. I haven't climbed St. Peter's basilica's dome in a few years, and it seemed to be a good time for a daddy-daughter climb, and boy it was! The walls lean into you, so that supplied a bunch of laughter for us daughters. In reality, everything supplied laughter for us girls. We had a good time! I had so many pictures to share, so I couldn't fit it all in one blog post, so keep your eye out for our adventures in Greece soon! Ciao for now!
