Where has my year gone. Suddenly I find myself entering into my last three months and struggling to hold onto whats left of my stay here.
I went to Rome a few weeks ago, and all I have to say is that it is the most amazing city I have ever seen. I was constantly in awe of all of the art and history the city held. It is a city where the past and the future collide. Where a building or sculpture is older than my country. Where millions of people have walked before me and millions will walk after me. I saw the Pope, the Colosseum, the Vatican, the Sistine chapel, and basically all of the major monuments of Rome.
The day after I got home from Rome, I chugged over to Venice for carnevale...the Italians Halloween and the french Marti Gras. Venice, which is know for the most extravagant costumes in all of Europe, did not let me down. Everyone was in costume and I had so much fun photographing the different people.
And now I'm back in school. Next week I am heading to Paris with my class. I am really excited to go on this school trip and I know I will have a blast. Then a week after I return Hans arrives, and then my family. And before I know it I will be on the plane home. I guess the only thing to do in these last three months is to eat as much food, see as many things, have as much fun, and basically soak up as much of Italy as I can. And I will love every minute of it.
Baci a tutti!!!!!
