Congratulations on a great throw!

So on sunday I went to Rome. Absolutely gorgeous. It was definitely my favorite part of the whole trip. It was just Antanas and myself, we left at about 7:30 in the morning to catch the train. We caught the train around 8 and it took a little over two hours to get there. So we got to Rome around 10:15. The first place we went to was St. Peters Square, it was amazing. It was huge! I took sooo many pictures, there were a lot of people there as well. We hung around for a bit because we decided not to go inside because the line was huge and it would take 3 hours to get into the basilica. So we just walked around. We next went to a tomb that I forget the name of, Antan wanted to go to it. We walked up and down an outside fair thing, and I bought a wicked pretty necklace made from venetian glass and a roma bag to carry my music and what not in it. Our next stop was the pantheon. But we got sidetracked and went to wrong piazza, but we decided to eat lunch in the piazza. I got a sandwhich I did not care for and didn't finish. So I tried to hide it under the napkin on my plate. We finally made our way to the pantheon and it was extremely crowded. The line was equally long as the one to get into the basilica. So we didn't get to go inside there either. But we found our first McDonalds which is just across from the panteon. Our next stop was the Trevi fountain which was huge!!!! It was gorgeous too. The fountain doesn't use a pump either, it's natural water from the mountains. For good luck you throw a coin in over your shoulder. After I threw my coin in, a little old italian lady came over and congratulated me on my throw. This place also had a ton of people, but Antan and I just sat there for a while, people watching and taking pictures. We next found our way to the Piazza di Spagna which obviously contain the Spanish Steps. Also covered with people. So Antan and I played Where's Meghan, instead of Where's Waldo. I ran off while he wasn't looking and then he took a picture and you have to find me in the picture. :) But we also took a normal one of me just standing on them. Our last stop was the Colosseum and it was my favorite place of all. It is absolutely beautiful. We couldn't go inside here either because the line was too long. But we walked around the whole thing and took pictures and then just sat down and hung out for a while. We finally found our way back to the Rome Termini to catch our train back home.

Monday was boring obviously, because all the spirits do in rehearsal is sit around and wait. But we have 3 of our 4 songs staged, and I have 3 of the 4 songs memorized already :). And it only took about a week! I just need to keep on going through them in my head, and I'll be fine. The show goes up next weekend. Part of my hopes to be in the opening night show, and part of me doesn't want to deal with that pressure or stress.

The rest of the week has gone the same, except for an unpleasant surprise. We have fleas in our apartment, and my legs and arms are covered in flea bites. It's absolutely disgusting. I counted 70 on my lower legs and feet a few nights ago, I didn't even count the ones on my thighs, arms or hands. Soooo needless to say I'm very itchy and unhappy. I miss home, I'm wicked stressed about the show and learning my part and I just want to come home. Or should I say, I'm definitely ready to come home. I've had my fun in Rome, I'm all set.

LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
