We went to see the Trevi Fountain, and it didn’t even … Continue reading Some more life lessons from Rome by Mikayla Bridges
Today was an interesting day; there was actually a long break between class and the tour for that day. Though I have to admit that I was kind of disappointed that we had no more classes in the morning, I really did enjoy the conversations we got into.

In today’s class, we talked about embassies and their purposes, including their pros and cons.

The bus ride was interesting because … Continue reading Different Religions by Cassidy Slockett
