Rome and Italy Tour

Three days in Rome and another five days traveling through Italy has been the highlight of the semester so far.  Rome was one of the most amazing cities I've ever been to.  I'm not even going to attempt to describe all the great things we did over the past week but the highlights of the trip were the Coliseum, Roman Forum, The Pantheon, The Trevi Fountain, Vatican City including the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica and St. Peter's Square, leaning tower of Pisa, La Scala Theater in Milan, and some spectacular Italian cuisine.  Italy was too beautiful to put into words so I'll share some pictures instead.

Saving money on dinner by eating salami, prosciutto, and cheese and drinking cheap wine in the hostel in Rome.

Beautiful day in Pisa.  This tower...is leaning.

Was offered to drive this Lamborghini for 200€ an hour in Milan.  Unfortunately I had to decline the offer.

La Scala Theater in Milan.  Most famous opera house/theater in the world.
