Day 12

Today we took the Archeobus around town. It took us out to the ‘countryside’ of Rome. It was very pretty. We got to go see some of the catacombs and it was interesting but I’m so not going down into the catacombs. *shuddering at the thought* With the Archeobus, we got some of the history of the buildings. I didn’t realize it, but the military memorial in town was once the house of a pope. Something else that I’d completely forgotten about was Romulus and Remus. I can’t believe that I forgot about them, especially with me being from Rome GA and it being tied to Italy circa 1940s. The bus tour we took today was just really nice. I got to see the places that I normally wouldn’t have seen. I finally got to see my aqueduct. So, my trip is complete  Tomorrow, we’re doing the last things on the map and packing to go home  I don’t want to leave.
Tonight, we went to the Fontana di Trevi. It was light up, no water was flowing, but it was still gorgeous.

Tomorrow is our last day in Italia and I don’t want to leave. Italia is a beautiful country. It’s just so pretty.
