Today we didn’t have any class, so we went out for tours in the morning. I can’t remember exactly what we saw on our way to the Pantheon. It was some sort of fountain, I remember that. We also saw a few more churches and a Gothic church, which I think I liked the best, after the Basilica. Sorry, I’m pretty tired right now and I’ll explain later but bear with me for right now. Not many things were open during the Mos, which didn’t really bother us until we got to the Pantheon; which was doing service during this time. So we thought “ok, well let’s just grab lunch.” So we went out to lunch and we ate. Then we go back to the Pantheon and it turns out it’s closed for the holiday. So that was extremely disappointing. But hopefully we can try to go see it again on Monday. After we found out about the Pantheon being closed we went to see the Spanish steps which were a lot less impressive then they were made out to be. But we still got to climb them and enjoy the view. After that we went back to the hotel and rested up for a while before heading back out to dinner.

We went out to dinner at a different restaurant that usual which was pretty ok. Then after that we went to the market, which was actually open today! Kind of, our teacher says it’s not nearly as big as it was last year but at least it’s something because the whole time that we were here the market from the previous years has not been set up. So we got to shop around that for a while. Then, when it got dark, the fireworks show designed by Michelangelo started, and I think it was the first time in my life that I truly appreciated fireworks. It was absolutely magical; the whole sky was filled with flickering lights of different colors; red, white, purple, and green. It was just amazing. The sky was enchanted with the fireworks. It’s something that you just have to see for yourself to appreciate.

And once we come home it’ll pretty much be the Fourth of July so hurray for fireworks!
