Today was our first day in Rome and many of the groups' first time abroad! After the seven-hour flight, we were ready to stretch our legs and explore. That is exactly what happened too! Our tour guide immediately took us on a journey to see all the best archeological features of Rome. Plants surrounded quite a few of the sites which only added to the beauty. The air was so fresh and cool that it added so much to the experience. My personal favorite was the Trevi Fountain. It was in the center of tons of small stores, gelato shops, and restaurants. The best feature was the water fountain attached. We all needed a drink so it was highly convenient to fill up our bottles on an as-needed basis.
After our tour, it was lunchtime. Everyone in my group went to a small sandwich shop. I personally enjoyed a prosciutto sandwich topped with lettuce and mozzarella. There were over seven options so everyone had something to fit their taste preference. It was so filling it lasted me until dinner.At dinner, we first started off with two appetizers. The waitress had around 4 plates of assorted meats and cheeses. Alongside this, we had white pizza. Imagine a pizza with only oil and herbs topped. It made a great addition to the meats and cheeses. For the main course, we had a choice of three different kinds of pasta. I enjoyed a carbonara dish with thick slices of bacon on top. Every component was freshly made, I could even taste the individual ingredient and enjoyed how it all came together. Finally, our dessert came. Fresh strawberries out of a cup for each of us! The light fresh flavors really balanced out well with the strong taste of pasta. It was a day none of us will forget, and our bellies won't either!
