Rome is an amazing city and we saw many famous things. The best part about visiting St. Peter's was climbing all the stairs to the top. At the Vatican Museum I took lots of pictures and tried to see the Pope through a keyhole. There are lots of fountains and I put my hand into the Mouth of Truth. It is said that if a liar put his hand into the mouth, it would be bitten off. My hand survived. The Colosseo had lots of stones to climb on and I enjoyed wandering through the Forum with all of its ruins. On my friend Helen's birthday I celebrated by eating at McDonald's. I also bought her a Christmas present at a Roman Glass Shop.
Uncle Brian bought me The Fellowship of the Ring book for Christmas. I met Pope John Paul II at the Termini train station near our home. I saw a really neat Christmas tree at IKEA. The subway has tons of trains with graffiti. We had a hailstorm that reminded me of home where everybody is enjoying the snow and cranking up the heat. I love the food in Rome especially the candy and the pizza.
