So we made it to Rome yesterday. We got off the train, traveled to our badass campground and chilled at the pool all day. This place is really badass because it is like a little city on the outskirts of Rome. Its a campground with a restaurant, store, pool, bar, club, the works. Last night we stayed in a bungalow, but unfortunately tonight and tomorrow night we have to stay in a tent. Its got 2 beds, but we have 2 so peter has the luxury of staying alone lol. Were kinda worried because its pretty hot here, but hopefully it will be cool enough to sleep tonight. We will see. Today we planned on walking around the city and seeing whats up. When we got into the city, we started walking around when we stumbled on the coliseum. We ended up paying €21 for a tour of the coliseum and palatine hill which was definitely worth it. It was really interesting to see all of the history. By the time we finished, it was 4 and we were exhausted. We came back and chilled at the pool for awhile, ate some dinner, and now we are here. Think we might go grab some icecream and hang out by the pool for the rest of the night. Headed to Nice on a 12 hour overnight train on wednesday night. Will probably post agin before we leave Rome....peace

Hey guys,

I'm back...I am sure you were probably wondering where I have been and frantic to find out if I was okay...well yes I am fine but you guys must "not" be feeling well because i see NO packages in any of your hands/or on the beds in the pictures!!! I saw some discount shop in the background of one of the pictures ...did you even think about purchasing a trinket for your mom's of course-not me - not there! Well enough about you guys having fun/drinking and living so colorfully carefree!

Shop! Hugs and miss you guys,
Teresa (yes John and Hailey too!)
