Rome 2009

I am currently in Rome, Italy during Spring Break 2009. What a blast! This is a heck of an experience. We have seen how gorgeous, timeless, electrifying and captivating the city of Rome is. I have met so many new friends and have come to find them as not only genuine but hilarious. You couldn’t ask for better people to be overseas with. Rome has history at every turn and we’ve experienced it all! Our step counter can prove it! My first reccomendation is an Italian meal with great people. Nothing is better. The food here is heaven captured on a plate. Smiles and laughter fill the restaurants. The streets, churches, and ruins are filled with statues that seem to come alive with the emotion eminating from the stone. Wow. It’s unbelievable. I’ve seen original paintings and sculptures by most of the Ninja Turtles. Raphael, Michelangelo and tomorrow we see Donatello. A few of us are waking up early to take a train into Florence on a day trip. We’ll hit all the major sites and stop for gelato at what has been named well over a thousand times as the best ice cream shop in the world! More updates when I get back to the States!
