Since I can't recount every single day I figured I would hit on the main points of my week. I realized that I can't be eating all this amazing Italian food and not even working out to combat all the calories. Even though I'm walking more than I ever did in my life, I missed running! So I put on my gymshoes, looked at a map and walked to the park by my house and started to go. It was awesome! I would have to say that running at my farm house in wisconsin is prett...

The next day we got to sleep in a bit because it was the weekend and we didn't have our tour until 2. It was our biggest tour of the trip, going to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Our usual tour guide was there and we toured the Roman Forum first, which is basically a bunch of excavated buidings dating back to Roman Empire. I even got to see where Julius Caesar was cremated! There were many flowers and gifts on ths big pile of dirt from the Italians. It's real...

After a couple of days, Trista wanted to check out this restaurant that Edgar recommended her so me, Caroline, ashlee and Trista went to the Abbey, which is this Irish Pub.

They gave us free samples of their crumbly parmesan cheese. I've learned that if you try and speak italian when ordering things, it makes the interaction with them a lot better. They are a lot nicer to y...

We may think that Italians are similar to us but they're not! They are 100% different and I've definitely realized that living in rome. For my CAS 492 class we take a bunch of tours around rome but we also have to do a presentation on many different topics and mine was on Italian Culture so I figured I would spend a blog talking about Italian culture. One of my classes ADV 334 with our group leader, Tom is really helpful because he relates how the differences of ...
