Rome, Italy

Ok, last update before I begin the long trek home. After subwaying it into town again we first went to see the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The building itself is incredible but the bronze monument of a soldier on a horse above the tomb is phenomenal in its size.

Elyse Hey Sarah, Reading about your adventures is fascinating. It sounds like you are having the time of your life. Andy has noted that there are a lot of mating animal references in your observations- like Lauren said you should have your eyes on the guys in your group not on the animals. We know that both animals and men are hairy beasts but there is a difference. Can't wait to see all of your photos and souvenirs. And don't bring back a leopard cub for Brendan, I don't think Mia will like that at all:-P. Sounds like your having an awesome time. Can't wait for the next instalments. Elyse and Andy

Lauren Moody Hey Hey, I've just caught up on all your blog posts - i forgot you were going to Amsterdam! I think you are so brave for going overseas by yourself - i'd be so scared. I hope your tour goes well - are there any hot guys in your group? :D Btw, i watched Tristan and Isolde yesterday and it made me think of you - i can see why you like it! Lauren.

Teneille Gesch Hey Sarah! It's so cool to be able to read exactly what you've been up to. Isn't it funny - whenever anyone takes their first OS trip, they almost always say that next time they'll go business class...you have my sympathy!! I'm off in the morning for my trip so I'll have to read your other posts all at once when I get back. Enjoy! Love Teneille
