Almost half way done!
So, I am sitting here in an Internet Cafe in the heart of Rome. We are just outside of the Vatican, as we just finished getting to see the Vatican Museums and specifically the Sisteen Chapel.
Thus far we have been to London, Paris, the Normandy beaches of D-day, Milan, Torino, and now Rome. Everything has been wonderful, and even though it is winter and we have experienced some not so good weather we have been fortunate that it hasn't been that bad.
One of my friends on the trip, Garrett, has extended family in Rome. They have been very kind to us by finding us a place to stay (In the police station in the middle of Rome, as he is a police officer), they have purchased us a lot of food, and last night we went to one of their houses, and they made us a full home-made Italian dinner. It was delicious.
We leave tonight, on an overnight train, headed for Munich Germany. We are in a couchette car, so we will basically have 6 beds in a private room all to ourselves, for the entire night. (There are 6 of us on the trip, so that works out nicely.) I have taken many pictures so far, about 750. But unfortunately the computer I am at won't allow me to put my pictures on the computer.
My favorite part of the trip so far has been the food. We have made an effort to try as much of the local cuisine as possible. Both the French food and the Italian food has been amazing. Another amazing thing has been able to see all of the different sites such as the Eiffel Tower, Colosseum, and Buckingham palace, things that until this point I have only seen in pictures and in movies.
That is all for now. I will try to get on here and blog about my adventures sometime in Germany.
Hope you are all having a wonderful time!
