Roma, Italy

ROMA, was our final stop!
After spending 24 hours just sitting arouynd in the airport I was so cranky and ready to move around. Finally, after arriving in Rome I was ready to just shower and ktfo on a bed! I think it might have been because we were so tired from our week of traveling, but we both slept SO well every night we were in Italy! 

Oh! also, even though I was tired and cranky I got THE warmest welcome from a cute little toddler sitting next to me on the train going to our hostel. She got my attention and spoke to me in Italian and I told her I only spoke english and she paused for a little bit and pointed to me saying she can talk in Italian and I can speak in English. IT WAS SO CUTE. I died. I got so red. Then she introduced me to her Mama and Papa and showed me how to color animals on her mom's ipad then..as she got off the train she kissed me goodbye :''') (Euni, she kind of looked like Bella hehe)

I can't wait to see my toddlers at work & AWANA kids at church. I miss having kids around in my life..it makes my life boring...

Thanks to Michelle An's long list of must go places it made our trip a lot easier! THANK YOU MICHELLE! <3

Coffee, Gelato, Pizza, & Pasta! pretty much sums up our trip! Tbh, I wasn't really interested in sightseeing. I wanted to eat as much as I could instead. I had moments when I was annoyed at my stomach for feeling full for so long because I wanted to move on to the next meal already! haha Everything we ate was just so good! Thankfully we walked around everywhere after we ate. It took us about 40 minutes to walk home every night from where we were, but it was nice to finally be out at night (since we were locked up in our hostel in Athens). We only took the metro once when we realized..everything was pretty much walking distance and the metro was kind of useless because it was only on the outer edges of Rome.

On our last day we couldn't believe how fast the past 11 days went by. After saying our final thanks and prayers we were ready to come back to London! I had such an amazing time with Priscilla & I'm so thankful for her accountability! I know this post isn't very detailed, but I just remember laughing about the smallest things and eating a lot! :') God is so good & was so faithful to us during our trips. He truly does provide in every situation!

Before my trip even began my cheapo primark bag completely fell apart and ripped so I had to get it wrapped coming back to London

I'm finally caught up on blogging!
