Hello all!
These past two days we have had class in the morning and then we get to go into Rome for the late morning/afternoons. Yesterday we went and saw the Colosseum, WOW...absolutely amazing. We walk out of the train station and right in front of me was this breath taking historical monument right next to a busy street being driven on by normal people on there way too and from work like there was nothing right in front of them. It was all surreeal to me, I had a hard time really believing I was standing in the Colosseum, if that makes sense. I kept thinking it was a dream and I would wake up back in Canton, Ohio.
Today we had Italian and Italian Art this morning then we headed into Rome once again and took a stroll over to the Spanish Steps (NBD) (no big deal). We went into a Church that had the original paintings of the crucifixion of St. Peter and The Conversion of Saul. They were amazing, to say the least. We proceeded to the take a walk around town going into all of the shops around. Alyson was accused of stealing from a street vendor, and then stalked because of her criminal facade for the remaining period (bahahah...hilarious...she wasn't stealing, just showing a pair of shoes to me a table over from the vendor). Then we headed back to campus in Castel Gondolfo and had dinner and now we are sitting in the lounge just hanging out. I miss you all so very much, but I am having such a great time with everyone here. It's great and I wish you were all here to experience this with me!
