Today was another great day.

We had our last day at the University, learning about Hinduism, discussing international topics and continuing to work on the United Nations Model.

We said our farewells to the University and departed with a group picture.

Later on, we went to the Jewish Ghetto where we learned about the facts and history about the ghetto. The ghetto is the oldest Jewish Community and life was hard for the Jews. They had to pay fees with their minimal wealth, faced racial laws, and lived in a poor area. They were sent to the ghetto to keep them in that area as well as protect them too. The Holocaust was treacherous to the Jewish people in the ghetto and 2,091 of them were sent out.

We also went to two synagogues that looked spectacular where we learned about the religion and traditions. Every single synagogue had to have one scroll and the men had to cover their heads to represent the equality among them. Additionally, symbols were in the synagogues with the rainbow, a type of tree, and more.

Lastly, at night, I watched the “Italy vs. Germany” Semi-Final Euro Cup 2012 soccer game, Italy winning two to zero. The reaction by the people was exciting to experience because, even after an hour, the people honked their horns and yelled cheers. A relaxing day with a loud, upbeat soccer game continues to excite me and remind me that I am in Rome!
