Rome

Rule # 21

"When in Rome go big or go home!"

Our awesome leather bracelets some of my roommates and I got made so we never forget to miss out on anything

Rain or shine - we're going out

Our first day trip vacay outside of Rome.

Much needed beach time

Rome

Rome wasn't built in a day

Continuing sight-seeing around this beautiful city. But first we OBVIOUSLY have to start the day with a Mimosa.

Rome

Alice in Wonderland
Now that i'm settled into the new apartment with 4 other roommates, which by the way are completely amazing! Its time to do Rome like the romans. Living in Rome is a completely different experience than just visiting. From buying groceries, school, ordering at restaurants, shopping, even to the way people make out, its just so peculiar. 'Everything is bigger in Texas' well I can officially confirm that its not far from the truth. Here everything is tiny! small portions of food, coffee, smart cars everywhere, I feel like Alice in Wonderland. Right away though I felt home sick and was humbled down. This country is different from what i'm used to so adjusting is taking a while but nonetheless i'm soaking it up one pasta bowl at a time. 

Cheers to this new adventure

The first day sight seeing

 This is Largo Argentina also knows as the cat sanctuary because its now occupied by a lot of cats! Its about 10 min away from where I live. Its actually about 10 feet below from where the actual streets are currently, they were temples and this is what remains as it was underground when it was discovered. Around where I took the picture below is where Ceasar was killed. So this is prettyyyyy old. Now we cross this everyday to get to where we need to go!

Rome

Fly away my little mosca

Starting from august till december I will be living in Rome. Why? I say why not.

Of course ill still be in school but apart from that I plan on getting as much as I can out of this. 

Ive been in Europe before though it was quite sometime ago, so its time to make new memories with new friends.

Cancun

Happy Birthday
June 10 

Where o where could I possibly spend my birthday?? Cancun you say? Yes!!

Breathtaking beach, clear water, sun beaming down, such a great birthday

 Along with the day trip along cancun of course you have to follow up with the dinner, drinks and party. 

XCARET

Xcaret makes you sweat!

Keep in mind this is all in summer! so no, i'm not traveling down to the beaches during fall. There is this awesomeeeeee park down in Mexico called Xcaret. So its not your typical theme park with amusement rides its better! Its a natural park (no not the boring kind where theres only trees and benches) It has so much to see! ruins, snorkeling, swimming with sharks, sting rays, dolphins, and more. Theres so much natural life around you. Theres a beach, restaurants, shows. I would probably have to rate this as something you should go see at least once in your lifetime. Yea its that good...

 

They have this show at the very end of the day in Xcaret that shows the culture of mexico from when it was discovered by Cortez to all the styles of dance each state in Mexico has. Had to be one of the coolest things I can recall from summer!
