Touring the City

So I basically spent the weekend touring the city and realized this.
1.) "Getting Lost"=exploring.
 We Study Abroad students have decided that we never get lost. We are simply exploring. Which usually results in walking around sometimes in circles for hours on end. But this has actually helped me learn the city really well and I have a pretty good sense of where different monuments and sights are in relation to each other. So after standing at The Vittorio Emanuele monument which is this big white building... 

 

 We decided we were going to walk to see the Trevi Fountain. So we stood on the steps and came to a general consensus of what direction it was in then we started walking. I've given up trying to learn street names or recognize streets because they all look exactly the same. I knew it was straight a head and to the right a little so we just keep taking straights and rights until we got there.  And we eventually got there. The Trevi Fountain was so pretty. Everything here is beautiful my pictures don't even do it justice. I can't wait to go back and see everything at the end of the semester when it gets nicer out. So after the Trevi we took some more straights and made some lefts until we found this great restaurant were we could eat outside on cobblestone streets and drink wine like we're actually important. They drink wine like its water here its funny. Eventually we had to go back and once again we knew our general direction so we just took some streets and kept walking until we ran into the Vittorio. You would think that these huge monuments would be easy to pick out as landmarks from where ever you are but that's totally not the case. All the buildings and monuments are pretty much in the middle of neighborhoods and everyone here lives in apartments so when your walking through the streets you really cant see anything. And they all look like this....

LOOK AT THE LAUNDRY!-no dryers here :)

 This is one of my favorite pictures so I had to put it in. We ended the weekend with finding some pretty good hangout spots which I'm sure we will spend a lot of time at so I can write about them later and I'm sure you all have other things to do with your Sunday night! Arrivederci :)
