We Continued to be Romans.

On our second day in Rome we began with Amanda and I being walked in on by our Austrian roommate.

So we are getting ready in our bathroom (she came to Liz and my room cause we had our own bathroom and her room had a communal). Anyway, we are getting ready in the bathroom so we don't wake up the roommates when in walks one of the Austrians! It's really awkward for 15 seconds and then he goes "you girls should lock the door". And we're thinking... uhh we're just putting on makeup uhhh yeah.

Well I guess it was funnier in person. Oh, then we saw the Spaniard roommate go into the shower stall thing, pee, walk out. NASTY. or should I say we heard him do this.

But we finally got out the door and onto the Metro and went to the Vatican. Ah yes, skipping the line again is the best event. When we get there we go through all the amazingness that is the Vatican and we take pictures (shown below).

Amanda with some Greek woman. Who knows. Maybe Aphrodite?

I love this statue, though I've gotten that it looks like he is going to eat the baby, or is about to drop him. But I love it.

Just picking the Sphinx's nose.

Then as we are sitting in the Sistine Chapel just staring at the ceiling, one of the security guards come up to me and go "pee-pee?" and I go "uhh, excuse me?" and he says "pee-pee". I look at him once again with a confused face and go "what? do I need to use the bathroom?". Then he says it again while pointing to his forehead. Finally I understand what he was saying.. he was calling me a hippi! Cause I had a headband on my forehead. What a silly security guard. It was even funnier cause you aren't supposed to talk in the Sistine Chapel. Silly silly.

Then we go out to St. Peter's Square and start making weird noises - thinking that if people can't tell what language we are speaking they won't try to get us to take a tour. It worked. Try it next time you're in Rome.

As we leave the vatican we are attempting to find a place to eat when this guy walks with us for a good 10 minutes trying to convince us to eat at his place, and WE DON'T. GO AMERICA!! In our defense, we told him we wouldn't when we first met him.

After we eat lunch we head back to the hostel and somehow Liz gets gum in her flip flop (like in between her foot and the flop). As she is being sad and we are laughing, a passing gypsy LAUGHS. It was so funny even the "destitute" gypsy was laughing!!! The best time ever.

Then we go back to the hostel and talk to our Belgian and Austrian roommates. In the short time spent, we establish that my name (Lacey) is not a name is Austria and therefore is not a name. We also learn that the little boy Peeing all over Belgium is like the national symbol. Says a lot about the country...

We go out again looking for Trevi Fountain and find it. Such a wonder at nighttime.

We at Canoli's at the fountain.

We also threw in coins on the second day. That is why we went crazy I believe.

On the way back we are acting ridiculous. We begin "laughing like Romans". Aka: Laughing but making weird noises. On the 35 minute walk back we are doing this and speaking like men.

At one point we pass a bunch of armed soldiers protecting some sort of consolate. Of course they could hear us talking like men and they say "You girls have beautiful voices." SO FUNNY. We cracked up for nearly an hour. Oh and we also got honked at by a FULL BUS. Love Rome.

To top the day off we go back to the bar and hangout with questionable Brit again. Wonderous day in Roma!!!
