Rome, Italy 2023
With an intense New Years Eve celebration behind me, I was making my way to one of the most famous places in the world, Rome, Italy.
With the standards set by all the other Italian cities, I had my hopes high for Rome. I will say I was slightly disappointed, which was my own fault for only staying 3 days and a very bad booking. However, I felt the life of the city as I wandered around the stunningly lit colosseum at night. All the buildings glowed a beautiful orange color and the streets were filled laughter and delicious food. Even in the day time it was nearly impossible to get around to Pantheon, the Trevi fountain and the Vatican.
As I entered the Vatican I was in complete shock by the massive and beautiful structures. I also had no idea that the Sistine Chapel was there and missed out...
