Hello all!
I am in Roma right now and am working on a very foreign keyboard so I will not be using apostrophes because I cannot find it on this board. Everything is going superbly! I am having the absolute TIME OF MY LIFE!!! And I cannot express that any more eloquently. Today, we started our day at the Roman Pantheon and from there went to the COLOSSEUM!!! I could NOT believe it! I wrote my fùresearch paper on the Colosseum for my Western Civ. class so I knew more about this than any of the other sites we have been to so far. I had high hopes for the Colosseum and was definitely NOT disappointed. After that, we visited the Roman Forum, the Mamertine prison, where Peter and Paul were put in prison and they were worshipping (that time the doors opened and the guard wanted to kill himself but the prisoners were all in their cells so he did not), and the chains of Saint Peter. Those were interesting too because supposedly they are the chains that kept Peter as he went to his crucifiction...I think. I find myself fascinated by the fact that I am here in Rome walking cobblestone streets Just as Jesus and the rest of his apostles did. Some of the original streets are still here, so I very well may be walking in their footsteps. I am blown away by many things here and cannot wait for the rest of the trip! I miss you all and hope you are well!
