I’m am still in shock that the end of our 3 week journey is almost complete. I can not even begin to describe the amount I have grown living here, immersing myself in this amazing and diverse culture.

Michelangelo’s Pieta I like history, psychology, biology, neuroscience, philosophy, and the humanities. I like thinking about religion, and art, and the ways of mankind, and I found myself perfectly suited to this place. When we went to the Vatican Museum we saw Michelangelo’s Pieta.

This has been a wonderful experience and I’m really going to miss all the history and the one of a kind landscapes here. Still one more excursion on Saturday and I can’t wait.

The Gallery of Maps The Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel were my favorite trips, by far. The museum was difficult to believe.
