When in Rome

                   As summer time is approaching, and there is abundance of free time. Why not use it for something that you will never forget? Like Traveling.
                We all know the story of the two star crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet. So why not go to the place where it all started? Rome. Rome is one of the most famous cities in the world, the architecture, romance, and the best food in the world. There are many different aspects of the city of Rome. It is truly has it all. While at Rome you can enjoyed the ruins from the most powerful empire, to the most beautiful of art museums as far as the eye can see. Rome is best known for the coliseum, where warriors battled to the death for their freedom, in front of thousands of people. As well as the Trevi fountain. The massive fountain is 85.28 feet high and 160.72 feet across. It took thirty years to complete this massive piece of history. It contains 30,000 gallons of water, and has over 133 jets, as well as five tons of stone.
                For a four day trip to Rome, including round trip air fare for two will cost about 7 thousand dollars. However the price might seem a little much, the cost is also including a four and a half star hotel in the center of Rome. The Hotel Roma is only about a two minute walk to the rail way system as well as having free breakfast, nightly drying cleaning, and wireless internet. During this time as well our currency is valued more. The euro is only about seventy-five cents in American money.
                When you look at the bigger picture, the cost might be a little steep, but it is a lifetime memory, that you can share with someone speacial.
