After we arrived at the hotel to drop off our luggage, Devin and I ventured out to explore the beautiful city of Rome. The sun is beaming; the city buzzing. We agreed to put a pin in the conversation we had on the plane and enjoy our time in Rome without making it awkward. We started with a tour of the Colosseum.
