Today was super exciting! First off, we got to hear the Pope do a bible study in the heart of the Vatican City in front of St Peters Basilica, and see the US Embassy in Italy! So not only did we get to listen to one of the most admired people in the world talk, but also set foot on a total of three countries today! How amazing is that?!

It was so cool getting to see Pope Francis and especially seeing half of Italy there in the Vatican City. Seeing all the excitement build up so much that we literally saw two men beside us get on the others shoulders to get a good picture of the Pope as he drives by. Now that was a sight to see!

After the best world religions class I have ever attended and a short break, we met our tour guide, Jill, who took us to the US Embassy here in Italy. There we got to ask questions concerning the US and Italy, and also got to learn what the Embassy is all about. I think it was a really cool experience for me considering that I am so into politics!

I think that tomorrow we are planning to go to the Jewish Ghetto, which should be very interesting! I’m excited to see all the Synagogues and extremely old buildings.
