I had a beautiful day in Rome, mostly by myself. It was luckily not cold or rainy. As a lone girl with so much to see, i got one of those tourist buses and hopped around the city like this. My favorite place to see was Villa Borghese with the gardens. The Bernini statues were incredible! My worst moment was when i lost my bus ticket (15euro!) and i had a loooong way to go before going back to my hostel. Alas, my tears won me the pity of at least one bus driver and they gave me a replacement ticket. I had pizza, gelato, threw a coin in the Trevi Fountain, and walked through the city. I also cut the long line at St. Peters (now i need to go to confession!) and went to a late mass at the church near my hostel. The city is fast, dirty, and the architecture spectacular.
In the evening, I met a austrian girl, Tanja, at the hostel and we went out to dinner. Traveling just causes one to cross trajectories with other travelers, and the best friendships can arise with people you would have otherwise NEVER ever met.
