Our first day in Rome...
We arrived in the Roma airport around 9 AM after our miserable red eye flight. Jake and I had to sit in the back of the plane, and after boarding it took about an hour to get the plane moving. Oh and there was NO A/C. Cue the anxiety attack. There were some tears and aggressive paper fanning. Eventually we got going and after watching fifteen movies and attempting several different sleep positions... we gave up on having a "relaxing" flight. So we met up with the family, and to say we were all tired and snappy would be an understatement. Luckily we got on the right train to our hotel and after an hour of dragging our luggage up many stairs, we reached our place of refuge and started our journey through Europe on the only rainy day we would have.
As designated Rome tour guide, I thought we should keep our first day easy going and check out the Trevi, Pantheon, and Spanish Steps. These are of course must sees in Rome but what I love is that you can see them whenever, they're within walking distance of each other, and they're freeeee. So we did our walk slowly and sluggishly and crashed around 9 pm.
