I don't think that words can describe how amazed I am by everything here! Everything we have seen, learned about, read about, saw, watched, and listened to has been beyond stunning. Rome is a whole different world and I absolutely love it! The architecture, people, sights and sounds all seem to amaze me.

I want to take a minute to discuss a couple of key things that I have observed in the differences between my day to day life in America and how I see life here. To me, it is interesting to see how the people dress here. Everyone that I have seen is so well dressed compared to the constant sweat pants that people wear in America. Also, the timing of the stores being opened is so different here. It makes it really hard for us to find a restaurant at 6pm when we are all hungry. Italians don't usually eat till 8pm or so!

Although things are MUCH different here, I love it! I am so happy that I have had this opportunity and am so thankful for it. I am looking forward to the last few days here as I know they will be just as exciting as the first ten! CIAO!
