Roma

Rome was pretty awesome. There was a lot of good bant to be had and I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much if it had not been for the people I was with. But I do have to say I was disappointed with Rome, it didn't live up to my expectations. It's quite dirty, the italian men well are completely sleezey, the food on a whole was pretty awful, the traffic is scarey and nothing is in one place. I mean there is no actual center or square everything is spread out. Which meant we walked on average 13 miles a day. The trip felt so long when in actual fact it was only 3 days long. God revealed a lot to me particularly on the plane ride over, I was reading Velvet Elvis and boy, its such good stuff. Thats why it's taking me so long to read. But I felt the need to share it with someone and so that night I was talking to my friend Helen,who I had planned to read it to. Then our two other room mates came back from hanging in other people's rooms and I said 'O you're just in time for a little story.' Our teachers then later came in and I said 'aww you're just in time for a bed time story.' And she asked 'What's it about?' And I was like 'Em-Salvation.' She laughed. And then in the morning asked how my sermon went! But it became our little tradition and I read to them every night before we went to sleep. Random. LoL!
But I took a lot of photos...although a lot of them didn't really turn out very well coz we didn't have a lot of time to stop and take what I would call 'proper' photos. So here a few of the best ones....
