Mainland Europe!

This blog will be short and sweet due to the limited access of interenet I have. 

Currently I am in Vienna, Austria and everything is closed due to the Easter holiday!  Hannah and I went to mass this morning (luckily we were able to find an English mass), and then went to a cafe (just about the only one open) and had coffee and an applestrudel.

Steve left yesterday, and should probably be home by now.  We had a great time in Italy and then one day in Austria.  Naples was not that great, in my opinion, but I am not upset we went there.  The place we stayed was kind of in a shady area, but the B & B was nice.  We ordered pizza for lunch and thought they were going to be personal pizzas because they were six euro, but NO they were whole sized pizzas.  Needless to say I couldn't eat all mine and got it to go.  However, soon after I realized I did not want to carry around a pizza box all day, so I did my good deed of the day and left it by a homeless man.
 (I only have seven minutes left, so on to Rome)
Rome was amazing, but overwhelming at the same time because we only had two days to see the city.
We met up with Colton and Blair and went to the Colleseum, had dinner, gelato, and drank 'some' wine.  The next day we went to the Vatican and the Bascilica, more gelato, pasta, and wine.

Overall it's been a good trip, and I definitely want to come back to Europe (several times), or maybe even study here again, if possible.  It is now on my bucket list to learn another language.  I feel so inadequate because a lot of people in Europe know more than one language.  I met a guy from Germany last night that knows five languages!!

All right out of time! Blog most likely when I'm back in Dublin!
