Now, since my two friends and I were still with our Stetson friends we all decided to venture together. Overnight train ride with about 15 of us = disaster!
This is the crew in the train station, missing a few travelers :)
We arrived early in the A.M., checked in our hotel where way too many of us in a room but still managed not to get kicked out. We had a guided tour of the coliseum and the ancient city. After this our crew was dead tired and we all wanted to rage that night.
history <3
Raegan (my sorority kiddo) and me inside the Coliseum! (it was so hottttt)
Me, Rae, Coleman, Carley overlooking the ancient city - beautiful moment
The whole gang cooling off in a fountain! Love you all!
We decided to take the whole gang out on the Spanish Steps bar crawl. Waiting for it to start, Jennifer Lopez was in the one of the stores for an interview and all the italians were going crazy! She looked elegant as usual! The bar crawl was quittte the adventure, here is everyone on the way to the Spanish Steps.
The next day was one of the top three best days I had in Europe (The others were in Venice, Italy and Prague - will get to later on). The day started off reunited with all our friends and the restaurant right next door to our hotel. The owner of the restaurant loved us and brought out plates and plates and bottles of champagne - one right after another. We all sat down for 3 hours and just talked about stories from the night before, our make-believe university we go to and random stories of all of us. It was a great way to start off the day (kind of have to be there moments)!

After our lovely meal, some of us split up. The day consisted of me, sarah, carley, Italy (ian .. hes from italy and got us around) and coffers. We decided to go to the Vatican only a short few steps from the longest line ever and they told us we weren't allowed in due to our inappropriate attire. Shame on us. We then said, "now what?" Us girls trekked down a shopping street while the boys stopped at every other bar... how perfect? The day turned out to be awesome, shopping and local bar hopping. We ended up at the Trevi fountain and Pantheon which was absolutely epic dealing with drunk people.
Me, Carley and Coleman in front of the Vatican!

Italy, me, coleman and Carley in front of the Trevi Fountain (see mom I did go see the historical sights!!)
Our last night in Rome was pretty epic, Carley got to take a ride on a vespa with a beautiful Italian man (straight out of a movie) and I got violated by a man selling children's toys - we won't get into details. Our next stop was Rimini, Italy and boy was that fun. We relaxed on the beach and went to a HUGE party at night that was on the beach. We drank 4 buckets, BUCKETS of long islands.
self explanatory.
We said our last good-bye's to our Stetson friends because this was the last time we would see them. For us girls, our journey moves on without them :(. We were now off to Venice, Italy. Funny story we stopped a town outside of Venice and we thought we were there.... hmmm where was the water and gondolas? A man asks... "So, you think you are in Venice?" OOPSSS! Finally we made it. It was a relaxed day but OH so beautiful. This is by far the most magical beautiful city I have ever been to. There was one thing missing... a man to share this romantic scenery with. I will definitely be coming back here with that special someone...
breath taking
Us girls have now been traveling for 2 weeks and we sure were exhausted. We decided to take it easy and spend 4 nights in Czech Republic to gain so energy back. At this point I have learned so much about myself and my surroundings. I learned patience is key and to be empathetic with people. Feel for them and be there for them 100% especially when not in your own element or comfort zone.
Until next time! xo
