\"\"<\/a>We started off the morning much later than usual; we began with having a very short class time down in the dining room. We then were off the US Embassy, when we got there, we were given a presentation of the US Embassy of the Holy See (which we found out if different from the Vatican City). Everyone asked an abundance of questions about working for an US Embassy and we took off to the Circus Maximus down the street. Everyone was actually shocked to see that it was now just a huge ditch; in fact, most people didn\u2019t even know we were there until the tour guide actually told us. He explained how the chariot races there were one of the major sources of entertainment for the roman citizen, and showed us a small section of the field that had been excavated.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, some of us waited in line to have our picture taken with the Mouth of Truth. Legend has it that when someone puts their hand in its mouth, if someone asks them a question and they lie, the mouth will close down on their hand. It sounded really interesting to me, so I waited in the long line to get my picture with it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Later on that night, we went back to the Night Market at the Castel Sant\u2019Angelo and waited to watch the fireworks around 9:30. Usually, I\u2019m not all that impressed with fireworks; they seem to always kind of be the same. This fireworks show, however, was absolutely breathtaking. The fireworks were the original design of Michelangelo, and actually developed by the Chinese. I\u2019ve never seen so many different kinds of fireworks; and some where the quietest ones I\u2019ve ever heard as well. The colors were so vibrant, when the gold fireworks went off, it looked like there were golden flecks falling from the skies. I know one thing for sure, it will be really hard for me to ever be impressed with fireworks ever again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
