Only five days left!
It is SOO COLD HERE!



The tuesday before we left, we did a wine tasting for our friend Larisa's Birthday.
They gave us cheese and salami and bread to eat with it!





After that we went on the carousel in the piazza by our school






Brittany and Larisa

Barbarini museum. It was OK. Not a very big museum, but there were some Caravaggio and El Greco paintings that I liked.


Spanish Steps

Trevi Fountain


The Vatican

Piazza Republica


A church across the street
This was the first stop in our quest to find Bernini's statue of St. Teresa in ecstacy


a statue inside the church


back outside. (no luck)


another church that we went to (no luck here either)


on our way to the last one. We never found it
