So the next morning we arrive in Rome we are here for the next three days.....so the first day we were so exhausted so we take a walk and finally find a post office great because I've got a package I need to send home...lots of film yeah baby...after that we grab a bite to eat and back to the hotel I end up passing out for the whole day .... from about 2:30 or 3:00 till the next day I was tired...the only thing Nikki got up to use was the phone and get something to eat...but never got any food....and back to bed....we were exhausted...must have been the Oktoberfest catch up...okay next day we wonder around all day see the Collousem which has a pack of cats that attack when you want to pet them....they are actually the cutest things and the whole city is littered haha (no point intened) with them.....all colors, sizes and personalities.....besides that we also wandered over the olde cite...haha  now this I have to say was amazing...really cool...its all beat up, and goes into the walls of the mountain...looks like its being excavated...woooow....so on to what Nikki refers to as "The Spanish Steps" here at this point I realize Nikki's wonderful sence of direction....and remember Nikki has been to Rome before haha.....later after some postcard shopping we noticed those were not the spanish steps those were the spinich steps....of Rome....haha I'm just full of laughs tonight....okay so we're moving on...we also saw the Trevi Fountain and fought our way to take a pic in the front...made our wishes by throwing 2 coins in the water 1 coin I think is a donation for the up keep of the fountain in disguise it must be run by demorcrats...haha  it also stormed like you wouldn't believe we took a nap in the day and had to run across the street in the pouring rain where the rain had also seeped into the restruant...and god said let there be thunder and lighting....the food was aweful of course as I think all of Rome's food is....the next day we put on our "holly roller boots" and wandered on up to the Vatican...very cool extra bonus its free....its actually very cool and a must see when you come to Rome...so Nikki got mad at me because I was making her go inside....but we worked it out...did some purchases at the HR store (holly roller) and went back to dip the rosiares ???? in the holly water...yeah baby my finger burned off but don't worry the crosses are okay...also Nikki would like me to tell you she has developed a very unhealty addiction...okay brace yourselves...they sell MARS BARS here....and she's very depressed and has been hording them wherever we go...in the middle of the night I hear the krinkle of the wrapper as she stuffs them down her face...in the morning we have found rats licking the chocolate off of her fingers as she lays in a bed of wrappers and she's passed out with a smile on her face...and you know what they say chocolate is a cure for...haha  Okay back to business....so after the Vatican we venture on out...to try and find some food...which seems to be an issue...checked out the shopping nothing really exciting...so tonight we're on a train for Sicily......next day we arrive in the wonderful city of Palermo....yeah exciting...we don't have lodging...so the nice lady in the tourist office helps hook us up....we end up getting right to the hotel no problem 7 minutes and oh yes ...we have a private room with a bathroom...can I get a hell yeah....we're extreamly tired as the train ride was hell the ticket master woke everyone up in our cabin at 3 in the morning....what the hell was she thinking...Nikki tried to explain that she was cold to the ticket master and she only spoke I-talian, and I was trying to say I needed a blanket also but I couldn't even talk so I looked retarted and Nikki looked cold and crazed..Nikki was screaming cold as she shivered her body and sign langued blanket....it still makes laugh...so anyways we sleep till about 1:30 and take showers and hit the road oh what an experience...first of all slut Nikki decides she wants to brake laws and wears some mid thigh shorts which is unexceptable....everything was closed for thier siesta....food issue again and looks you wouldn't believe I don't think they have seen knees before.....oh and the blonde hair and blue eyes...and perhaps my bald head.....so we're really scared at this point everything and everyone is crusty....and giving us bad looks.....shady eye syndrome....so before dark we jaunt back to the hotel for safety.....with nothing but shitty cold pizza bread...but before we get in we think ahead and grab some coloring books to keep us occupied....with the MTV......in Italian....mind you its only about 6:30pm oh what night.....next day we're excitied maintaing our opptimisim...there were tons shops we'd like to check out....okay dirty looks again...and no shorts today....shops suck..and people are not friendly....we eat another cold lunch and head back to hotel for another siesta.......sleep till about 2:00 wake up and realize we need to "ESCAPE FROM SICILY" we make a mad dash to the train station...no stops inbetween....we get a train out at 6:00 run to hotel and grab bags...paid for that night but we don't care...this town is absolutly ugly....it's people are mean and rude...and they don't want tourist there...its absolutly unpleasant....so we're on our way to Florence....see you there...Escape was successful  Sorry about the mis spellings...
