Rome wasn't traveled in a day

Here's a picture of the Colosseum in Rome.   During mid-term break in February I decided to go to Rome.  I actually decided the week before and reserved everything online.  

Here is a picture of the Pantheon in Rome.



One Day I went to The Vatican and the museums there.  Here are many pictures of the things that I saw there.  We were not allowed to take photos of the Sistine Chapel, but photos were allowed everywhere else.  I bought the tickets online and it made it quite easy to go into the Vatican.






I like this painting below.  I thought it was nice.  There was one museum at the Vatican that had more contemporary art and this was one of the paintings there. 






This is a view out the window of one of the museums in the Vatican at the city of Rome.












Angry baby?  or just bored...





I sent my parents a postcard from the Vatican post office.  Here is a picture I took of the postcard of Pope Francis.


Here is the staircase in the one building.

The mall of Arabia, and my neighborhood.


My friend Susan got a car and one of the first trips she took was to the Mall of Arabia. The mall is located outside of Cairo in the suburbs.  It is a quick drive if there is not much traffic. 







Susan shopping.





Here is Tricia Shopping in the Mall.  The mall looks like any other modern mall in the World.  We did not get to see the entire mall, but we did see a good amount of it. 








Down below are rabbits.  Susan wanted me to say they were cats to eat, but I couldn't do that, haha. 





Believe it or not this stove is brand-new!  It comes in a beautiful Egyptian color. 



Here is a picture of Tricia outside.  Outside they have a train that the kids can ride.  There is also a fountain that lights up and goes with the music playing. 


Chooo chooo!!!!Chuga Chuga Chuga...... Choooo Chooo!!!



This is how we do it! Duh..Duh..Duh..duh duh duh. A fun sweat-shirt at the mall.
