HOLY SHIT!!
rome is fabulous. despite beeing tired and a little homesick?
the last couple days were sunny and beautiful. and i walked all over the place. yesterday morning i headed straight for the colessium. i can't handle how INCREDIBLE it is to be standing inside. and how terrifying it would be to be a gladiator. you know they through people out there naked to the lions? or with a shield and spear? the place is huge and i think it is the closest thing to time travleing that i have ever done.
post the colessium, i headed right across the street to the palatine and forums. JESUS. i went to what is left of "casa di agusto" WHAT??? ... and then walked up, up, up to the top of something- through a hedge maze- garden, and found myself way up high at a cliff like overlook- practically in the center of the forums- looking across rome, to the colessium and down at the rest of the forums - pieces of columns and statues and arches... hot damn.
then to piazza spanga, the spanish steps, and galleria borghese- feel in love with sculpture again... and was exhausted by 3 in the afternoon.
i have been eating my fair share of pasta and gelato.
i met a girl from australia at the hostel where i am staying, also traveling alone, and we went to dinner last night and ended up hanging out again this morning.
things aren't so bad.
