Quick-style highlights from Roma

Since I'm already in Cordoba and I have much to update from Carnival/ getting settled here, I'm going to give you the highlights from my trip to Rome. 
-landed around 930ish and like the good little world traveler i am managed not to get tricked into paying 80 euros for a taxi into the city
-took a cab to the pub i was told to go to, realized how awkward i looked with all my luggage, got a text for Lauren that said: DO NOT go to the pub, come to my apartment. 
-took a cab to her apartment, wearily threw down my shit and crawled into bed trying not to think about all the money I spent that day
-dropped them off at school the next day and successfully walked around for a few hours without seeing anything of much importance besides the pantheon (which is cool)
-delicious dinner with Lauren and Mike that night, like 16 courses, wine and free lemoncelo! (cello?)
-after dinner, walk to my favorite part of Rome hands down- the Trevi Fountain. Which is even more beautiful at night with the lights on and much less tourists around. We tossed some coins into the fountain, found ourselves some gelato and called it a night
-next day walked like 20,000 miles in my CONVERSE seeing stuff, most importantly a beautiful view of Rome. I think I severely screwed up my left foot though. 
-went back to Lauren's piso, then me, her and Mike went on adventure for the best gelato in Rome. We found it. And it was.
-next day I got on the plane on time miraculously and found my way back to granada! 

I'm actually in Cordoba right now and siesta just ended so I think I'm gonna go exploring. Coming soon: Carnival, Cordoba

peace
