Day 21- August 26th

Today was Trent's birthday!!!! The big 25. So we did lots of sight seeing, including: Vatican City, St. Peter's Basilica, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and a little fun birthday ride!

This is the Trevi Fountain.

An amazing view of St. Peter's Basilica.

Trent in front of the Pantheon.

The roof of the Pantheon. It is really an open hole!

Us at the park overlooking Rome. You can see the Basilica to the left. There were amazing views from up here. We had to walk up the Spanish Steps to reach the park.

We decided to rent Segways to explore the park!! I was a little nervous at first. Trent was super excited. All you do is lean forward and backwards to stop and go.

The guy who was in charge of renting the things was HILARIOUS! He was talking about how stupid some people were who were renting them, how they were like crashing, and turning them off, and getting stuck in random places.


Yay!!!! It was so much fun.
