It is now Friday, the week has flown by. It is our last day of class and the realization that our time here is almost over hits us. This was our last day of class in which we discussed VARIOUS controversial topics being debating in our world internationally every day. Closing our class time at the University, we went down to the Café to have our last lunch and thank Fabrizio.

For once, we had nothing planned for during the day; we had free time until 5:45. So, what do? Shop, of course! We walked around Rome, looking for gifts for our friends and family, as well as ourselves. After being shopped out, we went back to the hotel for a little relaxation before our last dinner at Vittorias.

After dinner, we went and toured the Vatican Museum and Sistene Chapel. The Vatican Museum is so vast that we were not able to see it all, but of what we saw, we were all amazed! Such beautiful artwork done by some of the most famous artists in history. Sculptures, paintings, maps, a myriad of different kinds of works of art had us all astounded. Beautiful, just beautiful!

The end of our tour led us right outside of the Sistene Chapel, out of all the places that we toured, this one was one of the most breath-taking. Although we were not allowed to take pictures, or talk, we all soaked up the moment. In that moment, a picture would never do justice.  Even though the Sistene Chapel is not huge, the density of all that it holds is so vast. Sometimes it is the smaller things, that mean the most. Over all, the Vatican Museum and Sistene Chapel left me in awe. After the long night, we went back to the hotel and I dozed off into a soundless sleep, dreading waking up, but awaiting what the next day holds for me and my classmates.
