Day 133 Last day with my travel buddies!

Today is the day. The last day that Erica and Jamie will putz around Italy with me! Sad but I guess all good things have to come to an end. As today was the last day we got out of our icky hostel and saw a few of the sights we had left on the must see list. First we headed to the Spanish Steps. There we sat for a bit and discussed all sorts of pleasant things like religion, politics...who knows why......

The steps convienetly led us to the shopping district. I am now officially on a mission for the perfect sandals and Erica wants to get some clothes from Italy to wear back home. While Erica had some success I came out empty handed.

We then did our I think third trip to the Trivi Fountain and Gelato place that Erica loves. I just can't really wrap my head around the idea that it is gelato when everything else is so different, and well more like ice cream. But Erica is over the moon about it so we are frequent visitors.

The final stop for the day was a nice meal out and some packing. While it is sad to see them go my back is stoked! My heavy bowls from Morocco and smelly leather puff pillows are headed back with the girls and off my back. Also, it seems like a pivotal part of the trip. I spend a week longer in Italy head east for a few weeks and then to the company of friends and family for the final month. Can't be too sad about that!
