When It Rains, It Pours


Sadly, the rain from Ireland decided to follow us to Rome. But we are in Rome, so rain or shine we were going to go out and walk the streets, taking in all the grandiose buildings and eating the best Italian food. Although Brittany was still waking up and Kristen was awake but for some reason had woken up on the wrong side of the bed, we took to the streets anyways.

When we say that we walked the entire city in one day, we really did. We walked everywhere. Sometimes we were lost (actually most times we were) and sometimes we had to go just a few blocks further to see the next greatest sight. For the most part, however, our heads were always down because of the constant rainfall. We literally walked in the rain for a good four hours and by the end of the day, both of our feet were numb to the cold wet rain and our nose were dripping. But we ended up seeing so much.  It probably wasn’t the brightest idea considering that we now both our fighting awful colds, but we did get to see The Coliseum, The Trevi Fountain, The Pantheon, and a bunch of other really old statues in the rain.
