Watch Me Wander

Buongiorno a tutti! I am so excited to tell you all about my weekend in Rome. (I have never walked so much in my entire life) It's a lot bigger than I remembered and I definitely  appreciate everything I saw more now than I did when I was little. So let's begin: Saturday morning we all met at the train station bright and early. (8:10 is really pushing it for me) So naturally Francesca and I (most bomb roommate ever) grabbed a McCafe in the station, which is MUCH nicer than any McDonald's in the US.

First class is intermediate Italian, which for the most part is review of a lot that I learned at Stonehill. #easyA! Then, at 9:00, I have Renaissance Architecture across town.
