Goodbye cruel Rome, it was...fun!

Nah, not really, it wasn't that bad. I am sorry to say goodbye tomorrow though. At first I was disappointed, but I got over it, and now I want a few more days to see more stuff. Who doesn't like walking around all day looking for really old stuff? Anyhow, Today I started off with a nice breakfast at the BAR downstairs. Then I managed to get myself to the coliseum.

It was amazing. I walked around the whole think like twice just to make sure I didn't miss anything. I took a lot of pictures, and I hope they turned out good. I bought a book guide to archeological sites in Rome.

I think it will be cool to read. I then decided to go to the Vatican Museum. It was pretty cool looking at the different paintings and statues. Basically the whole place is just painted, the halls, the ceilings, and stuff. I saw the Sistine Chapel, and it was cool. I took some pictures there too. When I first got there I didn't take any pictures, but then I saw a staff person holding a sign that said no flash, so like everybody else, I took some pictures. Then this woman, who apparently thought she was the camera police, told me I wasn't supposed to take pictures. She was just a tourist as well. I was like, "they had a sign that said just no flash." She then begins to argue with me and so I walk away and resume my picture taking. Whatever. So after that, I went and did something, but it is a surprise.

I finished looking at the museum, and then I went to the Spanish Steps. It wasn't hard to find. Supposedly, the largest staircase in Europe. I don't remember how many steps, but I climbed half way up then took a break to sit and eat my pizza that I bought on the way. I will miss the pizza here. Well I did make it all the way to the tippy top, then I took a picture, and then I went back down, yay.
I looked at some souvenir shops and stuff, and then I went back to my hostel. I actually decided to stop downstairs and actually have a nice meal. I had a glass of red wine with my fettuccini alla Bolognese. I also got some still water and the bread stuff again. The pasta was really good. It was sort of like beef pasta hamburger helper, but about one hundred times better. The wine was weird. It was the first time I have actually drunk a glass of wine, and I think I figured out how to drink it without wincing. Well since it was my last night here, I decided to have desert. I got tiramisu. I liked it, but it did taste a little like coconut. It was really nice, especially since I sat outside, and the waiter was really nice to me. He reduced my wine price since I only had one glass, and technically they sell it by the half liter. Anyhow, I didn't feel quite as foolish as the last time I went there.

I guess I am headed back to London tomorrow morning. Maybe I will get some breakfast at McDonald's before I go. There are at least two in the train station.
