You Know You're in Rome When.....

There's the obvious stuff

The Trevi Fountain...

















                                            The Pantheon...


The Colosseum...
















                                           and, of course, The Vatican
I forgot to do a selfie!!!


















 But I've got a better list as to how you know you're in Rome.


1. Street signs are made of marble.
Yes, stick a slab of rock on a pole. Let's see if it'll stay up! oh...
 





2. There's gelato on every street.


















.... that have some interesting flavours


Fig and Cinnamon. Yummy







This is Siciliana Cassata
It's basically fruit cake and chocolate in gelato




 

 
























3. You're transported back to when it was okay for a man to wear a skirt and carry a sword.

Gladiators!






Paparazzi shot! hehehe
 
This one is interesting because they are scammers that will try to take pictures with you and then force you to pay them. They'll even physically stop you so that you pay them. It's like they take their job too literally.


4. It's an honour to dress like a clown. Swiss Guards!

Yeah...the black beret makes them seem all that more menacing


5. You drink from sketchy fountains.


They use a bathtub in the Vatican

6. You see dead popes.

That's his actual body...covered in wax...
kind of brings a whole new meaning to "wax museum"



7. You walk on ankle breaking cobblestone.










And yet the Italian women wear stilettos all the time















8. You can eat a whole pizza by yourself! The crust is so thin, it's not as much as if you were eating pizza in Canada.


























9. Everyone drives Fiats and Vespas.

Even their taxis are Fiats...
























 






10. This.

Squishy ball toy thing that makes noise...I don`t understand it either....
