Romeing Around

 My weeks have been filled with excitement and lots of food! Exploring Rome on a Wednesday night is something I can't wrap my mind around. I had gelato while sitting in front of the Pantheon and couldn't help but think "what am I doing here!" This weekend I stay in Rome to explore and get my school like in order, but the traveling will begin soon! Enjoy!

The Pantheon!

My favorite view of the city, the Vatican and River Tiber

This amazing store called Brandy Mehville! It is basically a store filled with clothes that
Europeans think Americans wear! It's amazing!

Villa Borghese

Updating the Bucket List

As I have been here for a few weeks now, I can cross some things off the following on my bucket list:
1. Drink wine in Italy
2. Throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain
3. Go to Tivoli Gardens
4. Purchased Italian Leather
5. Got lost in Rome

Sorrento, Italy

In Sorrento, we went to a lemon farm that makes all their own limoncello, salami, wine, cheese, etc.

Deep Valley of the Mills (thank you Pinterest!)

Almafi Coast!

Paestum, Italy

These Graeco-Roman ruins were founded at the end of the 7th century B.C. The city became part of the Roman Empire after Hannibal invaded the city.

Buffalo Mozzarella Farm!

Yum! These works work eleven hour shifts straight from 3am to 2pm!

Royal Palace of Caserta

The Royal Palace of Caserta, also known as the Reggia, was built 1752 for Charles the VII of Naples, however he gave it to his son Ferdinand IV of Naples. The palace, that has about 1,200 rooms was always intended for the Bourbon Family. 

Entrance

Royal Family's Chapel (some of the columns in this chapel are damaged from a
battle between Americans and Germans during World War II)

Gardens

The largest and most intricate Nativity scene I have ever seen!

Tivoli!

Here are some pictures from the town of Tivoli and the Villa D'Este which has the Tivoli Gardens in them! The palace has over 50 fountains!! The town itself is very small but cute and is on top of a hill about an hour from Rome! It was a little colder up there but very pleasant! Enjoy the photos!
