I am starting my last month in Rome and I cannot believe it.  Rome is starting to get warm and the sun is starting to shine more and more which makes it that much more beautiful.  I did not think it could be better, but it sure is.  However, the tourists are coming now.  People tell you that tourists come and everything, but until you see the amount of them, you do not realize just how many there are.  It’s crazy.

Not only is Rome beautiful, but really every city in Italy is gorgeous.  I have had the privilege to visit the Amalfi Coast and Cinque Terre and they have both been breathtaking.  I am in love with the coast of Italy.  Pictures do not do it justice.

There are so many things I want to get accomplished with this last month I have in Rome and I hope I can do them all.  Just one more month of living in this beautiful place and I plan to make the most of it.
