Ciao everyone,
I'm having heaps of fun here in Rome. We went and saw Il Colloseo e La Fontana di Trevi plus lots of piazzas, churches, fountains and beautiful old buildings on Saturday. It was really cool seeing the Colloseum, because we caught the Subway in, and we walked out of the station and it was just right there infront of me! I haven't actually been in yet, but we will go soon. Rome is just amazing, and it's so different from Australia. There are so many fountains and statues and everything has been so carefully made and decorated. We saw the Trevi Fountain too, which, like the rest of Rome, is absolutely magnificent. It's huge! But there were HEAPS of people there, as it's a popular tourist attraction.
We went out again yesterday with Ele's friend Francesca. We visited Piazza di Spagna and Piazza del Popolo (which I loved), and just walked around the centre. It was heaps of fun.








Il cibo e molto buono, specialmente la pizza! It's all 100 times better than any Italian food you get in Australia.
I'm finding that the amount of Italian I can understand is increasing too. I can't actually say much yet, but sometimes I can get the general idea of what someone's talking about. Other times I can only catch words and short phrases.






Fabrizo and Federico returned from Brazil yesterday. They're both really nice, and Federico is really funny. He speaks virtually no English so it's lots of fun trying to communicate with him!






Ciao,
Sophie
