Stop 1: Amsterdam Airport & Rome Italy

It's been about 2 months since I've been away, so there will be a couple of updates before I'll be up to date!! (sorry! you can just look at the pictures if you don't really want to read) I came to the Netherlands about the end of august (you see the picture of Amsterdam Airport to the right) with my parents to drop off my stuff and immediately we flew to Rome Italy. We stayed in Rome for 1 week and visited all the typical tourist attractions: pantheon, Colosseum, st peter's basilica, vatican city, st paul's basilica...etc etc. It was really nice...but SO many cathedrals and churches. After awhile they ALL looked the same to me!!! And funny...but we ate allll asian food (or mcDonalds) while in Rome! We tried "real" italian pizza...but it wasn't that great. Below are some pictures from Rome:

The Colosseum: (looks just like in the movies huh? haha)

To all my wonderful friends and family:

I have FINALLY created a blog to document my adventures in Europe for the year! Hopefully I will be diligent to update it regularly...and you will check it regularly (so I feel loved! ) :) I will try to post pictures as I take them, but please be patient! Hope you enjoy!
