After a cancellation of my second flight, and eight hours in the Zurich airport I finally arrived in Rome, the eternal city. My apartment is gorgeous—a huge orange building in a quiet neighborhood.
Where a few feet down the street there is a huge old tree sprouting up from the middle of the street, which although narrowing the way a bit, doesn’t prevent the drivers from driving just as fast or crazily.
I haven’t had as much time as I would like to explore and its very difficult to communicate, especially since internet is only available at times when I am in class, usually, and its only been today when I’ve been able to sit down and send a few e-mails. Even with a limited time, I was able to explore some beautiful parts of the city—
Piazza del Popolo
And the Trevi Fountain, where there was a Roman on his Cell Phone.
I’ve walked through a few neighborhoods, along with seeing the Coliseo, Spanish Steps, the Pantheon and a small ruins in the middle of a square that serves as a cat sanctuary. Today is my first day of class, so I’ll update more later, when I have more time.
