The time has finally come for us to head off to Barcelona. I thought I’d just share a few final musings from Rome.
4. The Catholics ruined a lot of stuff. Rome had some pretty bitchin’ mythology which probably means there were some sweet statues to go with it. Well, I guess the Catholics couldn’t get over the whole being fed to lions thing so most of it was torn down. In their defense, the Catholic church is responsible for some amazing artwork and Rome is still a beautiful city.
3. I’m a dork. A dorky-dorky-dork-dork.
I have previously confessed my obsession with video games on this here blog, so I don’t really need to go into too much detail. Let’s just say that I caught myself singing Sephiroth’s theme from Final Fantasy VII while in St. Peter’s Basilica. Also, a special part of each day was checking my 3DS to see if I met any Mii’s while we were walking about. Also, I did say to Glenn, “Wow this really looks like Assasin’s Creed. Two, of course.” I know…you all just collectively said, “Huh?”
2. My feet hurt! Walking is definitely the best way to see this city, but cobblestones are murder on the feet. No better excuse to get a new pair of shoes that an aching pair of flappers though.
1. Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line. Okay, I actually learned that from “The Princess Bride.” Truth be told, the people here are very friendly. I’m sure it helps that we had an adorable baby blowing kisses left and right, but, in general, it seems like people here are used to tourists and do a pretty good job accommodating us.
My heart is a little heavy as we say, “Ciao Roma!”
