I've had such busy days these past few days with orientations and meetings and all that. Finally some down time in my apartment to rest the legs and relax! Today we went and did quite a few sightseeing spots..but not all of them! We started out with Piazza Navona..what a gorgeous area! All the cute restaurants and water fountains! We then went to the Pantheon which is an amazing building. The first and second kings of Italy have their tombs inside which was probably my favorite part of that...and also the huge whole in the ceiling. We then walked on to the Trevi Fountain which was my ABSOLUTE favorite..I've seen pictures of all these things before but pictures don't even begin to capture how beautiful everything here is in person! Of course we moved on to the spanish steps as well and then I stopped into mom's cousins tobacco shop to meet Bruno, Augusto and Antonella. Only Bruno and Antonella were there, but what nice people! Bruno was very embracing of my visit and was super excited..haha I really liked him. We saw a few more monuments and the Vatican from a distance (were going to Vatican City tomorrow so we figured we would just see it then..) I have not seen the Colosseum yet either so that will be also be on the list for tomorrow. School starts on Monday and I'm actually excited to begin classes! especially my Italian class because then I will be able to communicate more with everyone here :)
that's all for now! will post pictures soon.
Ciao!
