Day 1

So today was basically a day of wandering around Rome, getting lost, and taking photos! Maggie, Michelle and I explored a bit and went to our presentation sites for the art history class. (we were all assigned monuments, buildings, etc, to research and do 45 minute presentations on). I have "Obelisks in Rome" so it's a bit harder because there are pretty much no books on obelisks...argh! I think I'm just going to focus on three or four obelisks near the Rome Center.

I've been pretty much living on pizza and pasta for the last 2 days! Yes! But once we move into the apartments there should be more cooking, and I know they sell fresh food at the Campo. :)


Anyway, pictures!
at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier


Porta Pia



Colosseum



walking down the street...I love the cobblestones!

Looking forward to moving in to the apartment tomorrow!
