Today was our first excursion and we went to see San Clemente's Basilica and St. Peter's Square! San Clemente's Basilica was okay, but I was not a fan of it being underground and dark. I did drink from the spring water they and down there, don't know how safe it was but one of my professor did it and she lived to tell us about it:) Our assignment was to study something for 15 minutes and than sketch it. This would be one of those time I wish I could draw!
St. Peter's Square was jammed pack with people waiting in line. I have to say, the line did move quickly but the heat was a killer today! Being inside brought back memories of when I went with my class a couple of years ago;) Bernini's work is just amazing and there are no words to describe it.
I did some more exploring with Kelly after our excursion and we got lost but were able to find our way back home, an hour later. Nevertheless, I am beat and heading to bed after I practice Italian.
la notte!
Oh yeah, the Italians like to 2 things in life: 1. smoking and 2. making out in public!
These are very nice posts. Thanks for doing it. It is a pleasant window into your life. Glad that things are going well.
