Walking tour

Sunday March 28th, 2009

Today we had orientation and a walking tour of the area and neighborhood led by Domenico.
After we got back, we had an introduction to Rome and then we went on a guided walking tour of Rome. We went to the left of campus and walked all the way to the Pantheon. We ate dinner at an outside restaurant. So italian! lol Afterwards there was a hue gelateria that we went to. It was a good day!

Saturday March 27th, 2009

-woke up at 4:30 this mornign. finished packing and brought al the stuff down. We left for the airpot at 4:45. it was sad to say goodbye to Ann when we had to go to the security line- she was so nice and great person. The plane left at 7 am. i slept on and off. We arrived in rome ay 11, and was picked up by Dominico. He was sucha funny guy. We then drove to the school. Once we got there we got our key cards and room assignments and we all went upstairs. Kel brit and I's room looked huge! it was really nice too. We started to unpack and wait for others to arrive. We visited our fellow Dubliners in their rooms and talked to family on the computer. We checked out the area and got lunch at a take away pizza place to the right of the campus. i got pepperoni pizza thinking it would actually be pepperoni- not peppers. But it was peppers, but i was surprised myself by eating it and saying it wasnt that bad.. i was just starving tho! The rest of the day we had to ourselves.
