The Story of Our Trip • Alisa and I went to Rome this summer together. • Here is our story of what happened during our trip. • It was a good trip but we had some bad luck. • Here’s our story….
Trevi Fountain • Alisa and I went to the Trevi Fountain on the first day in Rome. • Some tourist was telling us that the Trevi Fountain is the largest and most famous Baroque fountain in Rome. • Also that it was designed by Nicola Salvi in 1732 and competed in 1762. • Alisa and I decided to throw a coin into the fountain and make a wish.
Roman Coliseum • Some dude came up to us and started to randomly tell us the history about the Coliseum. We found out that it as also known as “Amphitheater Flavio”. • The name Coliseum probably comes from the big bronze statue known as the “Colosso” (giant), that Nerone wanted built on his image in the Domus Aurea. • I made fun of it. • We laughed.
When I lost my senses!! whoa • So we went to this bar and we were trying different kinds of wine. • Than I decided to drink the whole bottle. • I had to escort her out of the bar and all the way across that world it seemed, to our hotel.
Horse Back Riding • So after my little drinking party, we stumbled upon this awesome brochure for horse back riding in the country side of Rome. Macchia Grande is the place we went to ride. • Everything was going pretty smoothly until some bratty little kids threw some rocks at our horses and scared them. So then the horses took off and I ended up falling off my horse! It was soooooo funny, Alisa could not stop laughing. So once we got my horse back, we went back and found those kids and threw rocks at them.
Horse Back Riding pt.2 • So while we were walking back, I was complaining that my hangover headache just got 10 times worse because of the fall. • Once we got back, Alisa realized that she lost her phone.
Boating!!! • So the next day were on the beach right? And we see this gorgeous guy holding a sign that says free boat rides. • So of course we go check it out.
Boating!! Pt.2 • The guys name was Adamo. He told us that we would have to pay $20 bucks and hour for our ride. So we were like what? Your sign says its free, and he said he was only joking (Jerk). So were out in the open sea and than we see something coming at us at a really slow pace. When we looked closer we thought we saw a gray fin sticking out of the water!
Boating! Pt.3 • Than all of a sudden we hear a huge SPLASH!! And when we look over, we see that our gorgeous tour guide Adamo had jumped into the water! We started screaming but than we realized that he was swimming towards the shy creature. We finally see that it is just a dolphin!! I yelled out to Adamo and said is that why you bring people out here? To show them that dolphins? He just smiled and we both jumped in and spent the whole day swimming with dolphins.
Where did Alisa go?? • It was our second to last day in Rome and Alisa wanted to go see The Pantheon. • We were getting ready to leave the hotel and Alisa wanted to race down to the lobby. • I told her that I thought it was a bad idea, but she wouldn’t listen to me. • When she started heading down the stairs, I went in to the elevator.
Where did Alisa go? • When I got to the lobby, I waited a couple minutes and Alisa never showed up. • I asked if someone could call the hotel room to see if she was in there, but no one was there. • I decided to go back up the hotel room but I took the stairs. • When I opened the door to the stairs Alisa was laying there crying and laughing.
Where did Alisa go? • I asked her what happened, and she said, “ uhh haha I think I fell.” • I heard the door opened and turned around to see our boat instructor and he took one look at Alisa and asked me what she had to drink. • So I guess I wasn’t the only one who lost my senses during our trip.
Our last day and like no way!!! • So it’s our last day in Rome and we were going to the airport. We couldn’t find a cab so we had to walk. All because I had to yell at our driver for charging to much. • So now were walking • Lucky for us that the airport was only and hour away on foot. But we did have our bags…and Alisa’s feet started to hurt…but oh well.
Airport • So on our way to the airport, we were walking and a car pulled up to us. • It was Adamo! • He asked if we needed a ride and t thankfully we said yes! • Once we got to the airport Adamo took us to our plane. The people were just starting to board the plane. • We said our goodbyes and before we left, Adamo gave me and Alisa gifts and kisses for the ride home.
