Rome Week Three (GL 350)


“Love each other as much as brothers should, and have profound respect for each other.”  St. Paul said these words and I think that we learning to do that with everyone we live with here.  We’re starting to break our ties and get to know other people.  I think it’s a good thing; we’re mixing it up at dinner and hanging out doing game nights with the whole group.
On Monday we had Emily and Dave’s tour which was amazing.  San Giovanni was probably my favorite church that we went in.  It was so big and beautiful and awe-inspiring.  After we went on their tour we toured the Catacombs.  My favorite walking tour yet.  We had an amazing tour guide and the catacombs were cold and amazing.
Tuesday and Wednesday were free days after we had class of course and they were spent sleeping, doing laundry and preparing for our trip to London.  On Thursday we got a tour of the aqueducts, which was a little boring but still cool to see how the water was brought to Rome back in the day.
Friday we flew out from Rome to go to London.  When we arrived in London we hung out at the hostel and then went in search of a Chipotle.  After like five miles of walking we finally found the Chipotle and it was delicious.  The next day Katie and I went to the tattoo parlor to get piercings for my 20th birthday! After that we saw Big Ben, the London Eye, and Buckingham Palace.  It was an amazing weekend and I’m so grateful I got to go!
Until next week!
