Yes, my friends, we got to make a Public Announcement at the Colisseum in Rome! After an hour of being separated from Christine, Jen went to the entrance and told them that we lost our friend! They took us to a booth and handed Jen the microphone to make an announcement! No worries, we found her and enjoyed the Colisseum!
The last blog was from Venice, and since then we have experienced an overnight train in couchettes (a room with 4 beds coming out of the walls!) and some of us had all girl rooms and some of us had boy roommates! It was a rough night but we all got a little bit of sleep!
After a quick 7am shower at our new hostel in Rome, we hit the ground running! We went straight to Vatican City and got talked into a tour group...soon to realize that each person in the big group was paying a different price! We fought and won with a cheap deal! It was super HOT in Rome and our energy level was at rock bottom but we enjoyed the Basilica, Sistine Chapel, Vatican and Catacombs. We came back to the hostel and took an amazing 2 hour nap and then enjoyed the night at the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountains....people watching, getting our daily fix of gelato and tossing pennies as we made wishes!
Today, we toured the Colisseum, the ruins at the Forum, and the Pantheon. After a quick bite to eat, we bus hopped back to our hostel to do laundry (for the last time!) and now we are headed to the National Museum, dinner and then some more adventures!
Tomorrow we take a morning train to CinqueTerra and we cannot wait to see the sites and the BEACH!

You dad sent me your blog this weekend. It sounds like y'all are having a blast. I have really enjoyed reading about your trip. Have fun the rest of the trip, but try to keep track of everyone. I can't wait to hear about everything when you get back stateside. Kathi
I think we all would have been disappointed if there wasn't at least one lost Christine story... :o) Your adventures are so fun! Enjoy your last days of the trip!!
