Our Rome trip was last weekend! It was som
ewhat rushed; they put us on a tight schedule but I’m not too worried about it because I’ll be back for almost a week in December. The bus ride was long, it was freezing as hell outside and it was an absolute blast! We saw so many things that I’ve always wanted to get a chance to see: The Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain….the stereotypical tourist-y stuff yada yada yada.
The highlight of the trip was definitely on Sunday when I got the chance to go to the Vatican with a few friends. I should have paid more attention in Sunday School! St. Peter’s Basilica was amazing (there’s really no other word to use) and a bit overwhelming- all the detail on the ceiling was surreal. Am I sounding cheesy yet? Just wait- there was a service going on during our time inside so the sound of the choir while walking around made everything seem like it was out of a movie. That pope is one lucky guy.
Finals are this week and then it’s off to Greece on Friday…hopefully. Apparently there’s a bus/train strike on Friday, which is when we need to get to Rome to catch our flight. We might end up hanging around Firenze for a week….who knows! Only time will tell….
As for me, it’s time to adios (or rather, ciao). Rosie and I are going out tonight to celebrate our successful Oral Finals. Yes, on a Wednesday! I could get used to this whole “being a student living abroad” thing…..
Ciao for now.
